Environmental News For The Week Ending 16 May 2019 This is a collection of interesting news articles about the environment and related topics published last week. This is usually a Tuesday evening regular post at GEI (but can be posted at other times). Please share this article - Go to very top of page, right hand side, for social media buttons. Note: Because of the high volume of news regarding the coronavirus outbreak, that news has been published separately: Covid seemed to drop out of the news this week; usually, I ll see virus stories on news sites most read or recent news lists; this week I had to go looking for them. Part of the reason was that the East Coast fuel pipeline shutdown dominated the headlines, but the underlying reason is that new cases in the US and globally are falling rapidly, even in India. And the news organizations are reluctant to cover a story that bleeds less this week than it did last week. ....
Doctors raise concerns about bone scans required for claims in the Flint water settlement Doctors continue to voice their concerns about the use of a portable bone scanning device required for Flint, Michigan, residents to qualify for compensation in the $641.25 million Flint water crisis settlement. In order to qualify for more than $1,000 per household, residents must prove they have lead in their bodies by having their bones scanned by a device not made or approved for use in humans. Lead is a dangerous neurotoxin, which cannot be removed from the body and has serious life-long implications for both children and adults.

The device is not manufactured to be used on humans, nor has it been approved by the FDA for use on humans. ....

This water crisis led to public officials, celebrities and activists calling on city and state officials to be held accountable for their actions leading up to this catastrophe. Ultimately, nine people were indicted for their actions leading up to the Flint Water Crisis and residents in the city were awarded a $641.25 million settlement. However, health experts have raised concerns regarding what Flint residents must do to get portions of the settlement. Those seeking to access the large settlement may receive an increased payout if they can provide proof of excessive leads in their bodies. Residents can prove they suffer from heightened levels of lead through bone tests, blood tests or evidence of injury.

May 6, 2021 LindaParton/iStock (FLINT, Mich.) Some Flint, Michigan, residents who may have been affected by lead in their water during the 2014 crisis may now be exposed to radiation in an effort to get a share of the $641.25 million water crisis settlement. Anyone exposed to lead at that time can receive a higher settlement if they submit proof of excessive lead levels, through blood or bone tests, or show evidence of injury, according to court documents. Some attorneys in the case are using portable X-ray devices in an effort to detect excessive levels of lead in claimants’ bones, but some health officials and medical experts question whether the use of these machines is unnecessary and poses any unjustifiable risk. ....
