Children whose mothers lived near farms treated with certain pesticides during pregnancy face a higher risk of neuroblastoma — a rare but serious infant cancer. A new study found links between exposure to insecticides like flonicamid and cypermethrin, and the fungicide benomyl. While considered rare, there are about 600 to 800 new cases each year in the U.S., it is the most common cancer in infants and accounts for about 15% of U.S. child cancer deaths each year.

ICYMI: For decades, meatpacking plants have released pollutants into towns where residents are overwhelmingly low-income and people of color. A 2024 analysis of two decades worth of EPA data by Investigate Midwest found that nearly half of these facilities are located in ZIP codes where over 40% of residents live under twice the poverty level.

In Postville, Iowa, a plant released more than 250,000 gallons of untreated processing waste — blood, grease and chemicals — into the city’s wastewater system. That town’s workforce is largely immigrant, and its environmental burden speaks to a pattern of industrial pollution paired with employment risk.

Finally local media looks into Shalom Wildlife “zoo”

“A stroll through Shalom's woodsy paths on Oct. 11 revealed other uneasy scenes: a coyote pacing around his enclosure, visitors tossing vegetables to a bear through a fence — and a deer that appeared to be dead in its exhibit, bloated and drawing flies.”


Animal welfare experts raised red flags about the zoo, including the lack of privacy in the enclosures and the zoo’s breeding of a white tiger.

The decision follows months of committee hearings and years of public debate surrounding the facility’s treatment of animals used in research.
