I found a 1932 #map of #NewYorkState on the cover of a brochure promoting #AlbanyNY that is filled with absolutely delightful illustrations (and, yes, some casual racism, which I'll leave for another post).

All #illustrations by Herbert Writer, about whom I know nothing.

Unfortunately, the public comment period for this project has passed. But this editorial has good information in it.

EDITORIAL: Keep #PFAS out of recycled sewage sludge

By Gazette Editorial Board | June 9, 2023

"PFAS chemicals have recently been at the heart of health and environmental issues in Hoosick Falls, Petersburgh and other areas around the state, leading to legal action, tougher regulations and cleanup efforts.

"The chemicals have been linked to a variety of health issues, including kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disease, colitis and high blood pressure.

"In most cases, the environmental contamination comes from the discharge of the compounds into the soil from manufacturers of products that use PFAS chemicals, such as #nonStick cooking material, #firefighting foam and stain-resistant #carpet.

"But those same dangerous chemicals may also be finding their way in greater amounts into our #soil, #groundwater and even #FoodSupply through their use in #fertilizers made from #sewage #sludge.

"It’s imperative that [#NewYorkState] do all it can to reduce PFAS chemicals into the environment, not add to them.

"That’s why groups like the #SierraClub and the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York are among those concerned about an element of the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s draft Solid Waste Management plan that could nearly triple the amount of recycled sewage sludge used in fertilizer and applied to #farmland and home #gardens.

"According to an article in the Altamont Enterprise, the DEC projects that 425,585 tons of sewage sludge is expected to be recycled this year. In 2018, the amount recycled was just over 300,000 tons. By 2050, the amount of recycled sludge is expected to rise to 782,527 tons, the newspaper reported.

"The potential for that sludge to contain PFAS chemicals means that there could be an increase in PFAS’s making their way into the environment.

"DEC officials said they recognize the potential for PFAS chemicals to re-enter the environment through sludge and they’re taking steps to address it, including proposing sampling requirements for so-called biosolids recycled in New York state, a comprehensive risk assessment to determine a limit for biosolids recycling, and efforts to identify potential commercial and industrial sources of PFAS chemicals in biosolids.

"The public really needs to keep an eye on this effort to ensure that the state is doing all it can to avoid contributing to more of these chemicals entering the environment."

Needed a mental break very badly, so I went to #alleganystatepark in the southwestern part of #newyorkstate to #newyorkstate. Was a perfect evening for a run. Some pictures from the run and evening. #sunset #getoutside

2/x #ClimateDiary I do think most people, whilst aware of #ClimateChange in general, are actually pretty oblivious to what is going on at the moment, in the #Antarctic and elsewhere.

I just did a mini-one person survey and asked my family this question: where in the world are #FlashFloods in last few days - right now?

First person didn't know of any. Still awaiting answers from rest of family.

(Places I know, may be more: #pakistan #Spain #NewYorkState #Japan #Turkey #India #China )
