Insects offer new hope in Michigan State University’s fight against forever chemicals

Insects offer new hope in Michigan State University’s fight against forever chemicals
Great Lakes Echo
Researchers at Michigan State University are exploring an unexpected new tool that could reshape how scientists detect so-called forever chemicals in lakes, rivers and wetlands across the Great Lakes. Scientists have discovered that locusts can sniff out PFAS contaminants down to parts per trillion, a level of detection far beyond most conventional sensors. The new […]

Great Lakes show signs of declining PFAS pollution

Great Lakes show signs of declining PFAS pollution
Great Lakes Echo
By Riley Wilson Rising levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination are prompting scientists to question whether the Great Lakes can safely sustain surrounding communities. A recent study shows signs of declining PFAS pollution in these waters using archived fish.
