Repeal of U.S. Roadless Rule could threaten drinking water for 25 million people

The drinking water for about 25 million Americans starts in the backcountry of the national forests, on land where roads are few by design.

Tiny plastics in drinking water may be making dangerous bacteria stronger

Tiny plastic particles in drinking water may be doing more than contaminating the environment. New research suggests nanoplastics can actually help harmful bacteria survive by strengthening the slimy biofilms they form inside water systems. These tougher biofilms become more resistant to disinfectants, making them harder to remove and potentially increasing public health risks.
