Researchers reported finding microplastics in drinking water nearly 5 years ago, prompting California lawmakers to require monitoring of the state’s drinking water for the tiny particles. But in 2018, there were no standard methods for analyzing microplastics. So California regulators reached out to chemists and toxicologists from all sectors to develop those methods. They also sought assistance in developing a health-based limit to help consumers understand what the monitoring results mean for their health. In this episode of Stereo Chemistry, we will hear from some of the scientists leading those groundbreaking efforts.

Oregon’s rivers, streams, and aquifers support a wide range of benefits for both humans and the environment—sources of water for drinking, agriculture, recreation, and essential habitat for fish and wildlife. A clean and reliable source of water is critical for meeting Oregonian’s basic needs and for supporting Oregon’s economy, but it all hangs under the shadow of climate change. In this episode, we talk to ODFW's Ben Walczak, Clackamas River Water Provider's Kim Swan and PGE's Nick Ackerman about a partnership to tackle the impacts of drought. 

Today I’ll be talking with Abigail Hendershott, Executive Director at EGLE for the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team. Over the past few years, PFAS has become a large concern in waterways and drinking water especially in the state of Michigan, so I’m really interested in learning more about what PFAS is, why it’s a problem, and what the State of Michigan is doing about it.

If your body was an ocean, you might be walking on dry land. How many of us are well aware that we are not drinking enough water. In this episode, learn the value of staying hydrated and prevent dehydration. Mic Jager gave some of the best advice ever to reveal in this episode of the Stress Free Minute.

My guests this week are talking about something that sounds easy, but actually isn't. Drinking water. Or more specifically, drinking enough water to stay hydrated all (or nearly all) of the time.

Dr Esther Papies and research assistant Amy Rodger undertook a study earlier this year to find out how and why people drink water, and to see how if could be habitualised and looked at in a different way. 

The results are fascinating, and after listening to the podcast you'll never think about drinking water in the same way again.

Raz Razgaitis is on a mission to eliminate single-use packaging and put bottled water out of business by making tap water safe and tasty again. Co-founder and CEO of FloWater, Raz sees the bottled water industry as our contemporary "Big Tobacco," capitalizing on a manufactured need while wreaking untold public health consequences due to plastic pollution. FloWater's technology is currently keeping 5.5 plastic Water bottles every second from reaching our landfills and oceans and this is just the beginning.

Using the newest filter technology in their touchless hygienic water Refill Stations, FloWater creates public access to drinking water that tastes and hydrates better than anything in a single-use plastic bottle and is free of pathogens, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and micro-plastics.

We talk about business, the challenges of taking on Goliath, changing prevailing perceptions and following one's heartfelt sense of mission.

Today I will be talking with Dr. Peter Wampler, a professor of Geology at Grand Valley State University. Last week we talked about the Making Waves Initiative that he is involved with at GVSU. This week we will talk about Safe and Sustainable Water for Haiti which is another program that he is involved with at Grand Valley.

Marinette is defined by water. From industry like shipbuilding to its location where the Menominee River empties into the Bay of Green Bay, water is at the center of life there.

But it's also been the Wisconsin community at the center of a drinking water pollution crisis from a class of chemicals called PFAS, which has been linked to serious health issues including cancer. Residents in the area have struggled to get access to clean drinking water after it was found that the chemical had been leaching into private wells from a nearby firefighting training facility.

Despite this crisis being a top issue for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, the State Assembly failed to pass meaningful legislation that had bi-partisan support before adjourning for the year.

We talk with Oliver Redsten about how this issue is impacting the residents of Marinette. We also catch up with Carly Michiels, our government relations director, about how the Assembly failed to pass bold legislation to address this crisis, and what it could mean as more communities around the state discover PFAS pollution in their drinking water.

Background reading:

• Read Oliver’s story about his journey to Marinette to understand the PFAS issue that has impacted many residents in the area.
• Read up on the CLEAR Act and why we called on lawmakers to support this legislation.
• Here’s an explainer on PFAS pollution and how it’s impacted communities around the state.

You can also send a message to the State Senate to tell them to veto the Assembly’s failed attempt at addressing PFAS pollution.

Special thanks to Chuck and Cindy Boyle of S.O.H2O; Ruth and John Kowalski of Marinette; Darsi Foss of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources; and Carly Michiels of Clean Wisconsin.
