PFAS bill approved in US House, goes to Senate

View Comments For a second time, U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Dearborn, on Wednesday secured House passage of legislation that would combat contamination across the country by PFAS, the so-called forever chemicals once prevalent in household items and fire-retardant materials that have been linked to health problems. The bill, with Dingell as its prime sponsor, passed 241-182, with 23 Republicans joining the Democratic majority to approve the measure. It now goes to the Senate, where its chances of passage have increased with Democrats in marginal control of the chamber. While the legislation touches on many aspects of regulating PFAS   which is short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, the bonds of which are so strong they don t degrade or do so only slowly in the environment  the main parts of the bill would require the federal government to label the two most widely known chemicals as hazardous and require national drinking water standards to be developed.

Alarming spike in Great Lakes drownings tied to COVID-19, study finds

Alarming spike in Great Lakes drownings tied to COVID-19, study finds Keith Matheny Detroit Free Press An alarming spike in the number of drownings across several of the Great Lakes last year may have been linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, a new research study finds. The drownings, particularly on Great Lakes Michigan, Ontario and Huron, appeared to correlate to times when government restrictions on movement were relaxed amid the pandemic. As community swimming pools, water parks and other options for cooling off in the summer remained closed, more people apparently chose to visit local beaches on the Great Lakes. At many of those beaches, COVID-19 contributed to local governments not providing lifeguards, swimming area markings or flag warnings for dangerous wave days.
