An investigation by newsrooms including The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Associated Press & FRONTLINE (PBS) has revealed how the economic engine that sustained northwest #Georgia #contaminated the area & neighboring states, too. Downriver from Dalton, AL.com found cities in #Alabama are struggling to remove #PFAS from #DrinkingWater. And in #SouthCarolina, The Post & Courier traced a local watchdog’s discovery of #ForeverChemicals to a #river by a Shaw factory.

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica built the Rx Inspector tool to show you.

Now a proposed bill would also require manufacturing location information on packaging for both generic and brand-name drugs.

The Clear Labels Act Would Change What You Know About Your Prescription Medication

The bill, introduced by Sens. Rick Scott and Kirsten Gillibrand, follows a bipartisan investigation that cited ProPublica’s reporting on dangerous foreign drugmakers and the medicine they continued to sell in the U.S.

A newly discovered antibody clamps the base of the spike protein of COVID-19 and other SARS viruses. This antibody is effective against multiple variants of the virus; variants that were unaffected by the antibody were also less infectious.

New training from a Texas regulator about when doctors can legally terminate a pregnancy comes nearly five years after the state passed its abortion ban in 2021.

Experts contend the guidance can’t capture all complications that arise in pregnancy.

The course includes examples of when abortion is permitted to protect the life of the patient, but many experts say the complications women face in pregnancy are impossible to capture in a brief presentation.

The #pollution is so bad some researchers have identified the region as one of the nation’s #PFAS hot spots. Today, the consequences can be found everywhere. PFAS, often called #ForeverChemicals because they can take decades or more to break down, are in the #water & the #soil.

They’re in the dust on floors where #children crawl, the local #fish & #wildlife, & as ongoing research has shown, the #people.
