CHARLOTTE. N.C. (News Release)– Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control (AC&C) is on the cusp of a historical moment as it closes in on a 90% save rate for animals processed through the shelter, designating it as a “no-kill” community for the very first time. A
special campaign, “900 Countdown”, started in November, has encouraged adoptions of 900 animals in order to make the 90% goal. Currently, only 188 adoptions are needed to hit the mark!
“Achieving the 90% goal will position our shelter as the true safe haven that it is for our community’s homeless pets and for citizens who need assistance with keeping their pets,” said Dr. Josh Fisher, AC&C Director. “Charlotte recognizes the power of the human-animal bond and has come together this year to ensure we do all we can to save animals and keep people and pets together. It’s been remarkable.”

A new study examines how acidity and climate impact arsenic removal strategies downstream of the Porgera Joint Venture gold mine in Papua New Guinea.
Published November 11 in Applied Geochemistry, the study focuses specifically on arsenic capture and storage by soil and sediments a process called sequestration. Mine waste contains arsenic, and if that arsenic is not captured by the soil, it remains dissolved in water, where it poses health risks to people and ecosystems. The study investigated the mechanisms through which sediments in the mine-impacted area are able to sequester arsenic, and how mine wastes should be handled in order to prevent arsenic from being transported downstream.
