Gulf deadzone "only" 6,800 square miles this year
Posted on 7 Aug 2011 by Thomas H. Clarke, Jr.

Prior blogs have described both the size, nature, and cause of the Gulf of Mexico dead zone, a subsea region where the water contains too little oxygen to support life. In June of 2011, researchers predicted that the annual dead zone might be the biggest... Read More

Another estrogenic substance is identified (BPS, which is related to BPA), and the vector exposes nearly everyone
Posted on 25 Jun 2012 by Thomas H. Clarke, Jr.

Prior posts have noted that BPA (an estrongen mimic) is found not only in certain plastics (about which there is much nashing of teeth), but the main vector may very well be thermal cash register receipts. Well, get ready for its cousin, BPS, and the... Read More

Another BPA issue -- it may cause undesirable activation of estrogenic genes
Posted on 31 Aug 2011 by Thomas H. Clarke, Jr.

Prior posts have followed the debate over BPA and its potential problems. In a recently reported study, researchers have raised a new issue, the activation of estrogen-related genes. Exposure of animal and cell models to doses of BPA below the recommended... Read More
