Researchers at 9I制作厂免费 have identifiedbacteria that can indicate whether a blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) bloom is likely to be toxic, offering a potential water-safety early warning system. Blooms are becoming more frequent due to climate change, according to听previous 9I制作厂免费 research. They can produce various contaminants, known as cyanotoxins, that pose serious health risks to humans, pets and wildlife.

U.S. Enters Uncharted Territory on Hunger 听



U.S. families who rely on federal food assistance are facing deep uncertainty this week. On Nov. 1, 40 million+ people risk losing critical food benefits as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) runs out of money due to the government shutdown. That funding crisis comes as new SNAP work requirements go into effect鈥攎eaning 2.4 million Americans may lose eligibility for the program, even as food prices rise. 听


Amid the confusion, experts working in hunger and nutrition are also losing a roadmap they have relied on for 30 years: the Household Food Security Survey and the corresponding annual report, which has informed food assistance policy for three decades. 听


Background: The hunger survey and report were launched in 1996 to better understand food insecurity in the U.S. and to assess whether food assistance programs were working. That data shaped the country鈥檚 . 听


Report rescinded: In September, the USDA discontinued the report, with Trump administration officials calling it 鈥渞edundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous.鈥 听

  • Researchers and advocates warn that the decision eliminates the only continuous, nationally representative data on food insecurity鈥攁nd harms the country鈥檚 chances of ending hunger. 听
