☆ How to limit PFAS in your drinking water and food, according to experts

“It would be about 25 years before all the PFAS leave your body.”Testing your waterWhat can consumers do right now to limit the levels of PFAS in their drinking water? Filtering your waterIf PFAS levels are concerning, consumers can purchase an under-the-counter water filter for their tap. “The water filters that are most effective for PFAS are reverse osmosis filters, which are more expensive, about in the $200 range,” Andrews said. Reverse osmosis filters can remove a wide range of contaminants, including dissolved solids, by forcing water through various filters. PFAS in food and your homeDrinking water is not the only way PFAS enters the bloodstream.

☆ Toxic ‘forever’ chemicals found in excessive levels in global groundwater, study says
  + stars: | 2024-04-08 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —Potentially toxic chemicals called PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are found in surface and groundwaters around the world at levels much higher than many international regulators allow, a new study found. Groundwater can be contaminated by PFAS from food and consumer products added to landfills as well as from manufacturing facilities. Public concern led to a commitment by manufacturers in 2008 to phase out use of PFOA and PFOS, two of the most widely used chemicals. Generally PFAS concentrations are higher in urban areas or areas that used PFAS products extensively, O’Connell said, but it is also leached into the environment in ways that may not be obvious. “Another example is that PFAS used to be used in ski wax, so pristine environments, where people ski, have PFAS in their waters and soils,” he said.

It’s not just about frequency or urgency; it’s also about understanding the color, clarity and odor of urine to unlock health insights. Regardless of these guidelines, the best indicators of adequate hydration are rarely feeling thirsty and having light yellow urine. Listen to your body and adjust water intake based on thirst, the color of your urine, and how you feel, ensuring you stay well-hydrated for optimal health. What your urine color is telling youRed or pink: Sometimes, eating foods such as beets or berries can turn your urine red or pink. A urinary ‘report card’When it comes to understanding your health, your urine can act like a daily report card.

☆ Opinion: We’ve reached a turning point with AI, expert says

Will general purpose AI — AI that is as capable as humans — eventually take over the world? CNN/Peg Skorpinski “…even though we may understand how to build perfectly safe general purpose AI, what’s to stop Dr. We don’t know if they reason; we don’t know if they have their own internal goals that they’ve learned or what they might be. It is not general purpose AI, but it’s giving people a taste of what it would be like. And so it turns out that you can actually build AI systems that have those properties, but they’re very different from the kinds of AI systems that we know how to build.

☆ Meet Commander Moonikin Campos, the Artemis I mannequin
  + stars: | 2022-09-01 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Rather than astronauts, a mannequin named Commander Moonikin Campos will helm the Orion spacecraft, with two mannequin torsos called Helga and Zohar along for the ride. The mannequin, sporting the Orion Crew Survival System suit, can collect data on what future human crews might experience. Commander Moonikin Campos will test out a flight suit intended for future astronauts. The developers of AstroRad hope that the vest would allow future Artemis crews to continue performing daily activities despite space weather.
