People in North Yorkshire town found to have ‘alarming’ levels of toxic Pfas chemicals in blood
Exclusive: Testing in Bentham, home to UK’s highest recorded Pfas levels, finds one in four have blood levels in greatest risk category
Alarming levels of toxic forever chemicals have been found in the blood of people living in a town previously revealed to be contaminated with the UK’s highest recorded level of Pfas.
Pfas, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and commonly known as forever chemicals because of their persistence in the environment, have been linked to a wide range of serious illnesses, including some cancers. They are used in a variety of consumer products but one of their most prolific uses is in firefighting foam.

Mexico’s monarch butterfly population jumps 64%, offering hope for at-risk species
The insects covered its largest area since 2018, despite threats from habitat loss, climate crisis and pesticides
The population of monarch butterflies in Mexico increased 64% this winter, compared with the same period in 2025, offering a glimmer of hope for an insect considered at risk of extinction.
The figures, released this week by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Mexico, showed that the area occupied by monarchs expanded to 2.93 hectares (7.24 acres) of forest from 1.79 hectares (4.42 acres) the previous winter, the largest coverage since 2018.

‘Hybrid organ’: how a union of trees and fungi could revolutionise forest management
A US startup supplies spray for fast-growing loblolly pines with the hope of increasing biodiversity – and reducing the need for artificial fertiliser
At a commercial tree nursery near Evans, western Louisiana, 5m pine seedlings are packed on to 12 vast circular irrigation tables, each as wide as a football field. Last September, many of these young trees were sprayed with what looked like muddy water.
The substance was in fact a liquid extract teeming with hundreds of species of wild soil fungi. Brad Ouseman, the nursery manager, is confident he will see results from this fungal inoculation, which is intended to improve yields and reduce the need for artificial fertilisers.

‘Smokeless’ fuels produce more ultrafine particles that get embedded in lungs, study shows
The tiny size of the particles means they can become deposited deep in people’s lungs, causing a health risk
New research has found that burning “smokeless” or low-smoke fuels may be causing new air pollution hazards on streets and in homes.
These fuels are sold as alternatives to burning coal, wood and peat at home, but tests reveal their smoke contains large quantities of tiny ultrafine particles, smaller than the wavelength of light, that can deposit themselves deep in our lungs.

‘Yes to fields of wheat, no to fields of iron’: how the world’s greenest country soured on solar
In Denmark, the spread of solar panels has become a divisive issue among voters, especially in rural areas
In one telling of the story, the golden fields of a proud farming nation are under attack. Besieged by an industrial sprawl of solar panels, they are being smothered at the behest of an urban elite.
That narrative has failed to thrive in conservative heartlands such as Texas and Hungary, which have embraced solar power while lambasting green rules. But it is taking root in Denmark, the most climate-ambitious nation on Earth. “We say yes to fields of wheat,” said Inger Støjberg, the leader of the rightwing populist Denmark Democrats in a speech in 2024. “And we say no to fields of iron!”

Country diary: The messy chaos of nesting herons | Mary Montague
Stranmillis University College, Belfast:There’s a fuss going on high up in the trees, as these early breeders have already got going with this year’s brood
A robin is singing. Moonlight gleams through the trees. These woods are home to a breeding colony of grey herons and, until recently, their incessant yells were part of the dawn chorus. Today, the quietness of an established heron nest high in a beech tree is good news. Herons share parental care and one of the pair is up there – right on time for these early breeders – brooding a clutch of eggs.
Another heron calls out as it swoops through a gap in the trees. The intense storms that preceded this year’s breeding season felled several trees – and their traditional nest sites. The incoming heron lands in a nearby pine tree, where its mate is guarding a messy bundle of twigs. This pair are still building their nest. Both male and female herons have long black crest feathers, and lacy plumes on the throat and back but, in this case, I’ve no trouble identifying the sexes. The male preens his mate before mounting her. There’s a few seconds of wing-flapping, squirming and tail-wagging. After he slides off, the female tucks her bill into her breast feathers and closes her eyes.

‘It’s not sustainable’: US farmers reeling as Iran war pushes fertilizer costs up
Closure of strait of Hormuz – a key fertilizer production and transportation route – has squeezed farmers as prices jump
Rodney Bushmeyer has been farming as long as he can remember. Bushmeyer’s father was a farmer, as was his grandfather.
The family-run Bushmeyer Farms in Illinois dates back more than 100 years, when his ancestors came to the US from Germany. They acquired the first 80 acres cost-free as homesteaders, cleared the land, and worked it.

‘Agriculture of life’: the Rio families growing bananas to protect the world’s largest urban forest
In the middle of the city, traditional growers blend crops with native species to preserve Pedra Branca state park’s biodiversity
The sound of the scythes wielded by brothers Jorge and Ubirajara Cardia breaks the silence in the hills of Vargem Grande, in the south-west zone of Rio de Janeiro city. Quilombola from the Cafundá Astrogilda community, they harvest bananas the same way their ancestors used to. Every week, they select the bunches of prata, maçã, and Cavendish bananas, cut them down and, on the back of their mules, go down the hillside with the newly harvested crop.
Through sloping ways in the forest, they travel about 5km (3 miles) along paths first opened by the Indigenous Tupinambápeople and enslaved workers of African descent.

From black rain to marine pollution, the war in Iran is an environmental disaster
In this week’s newsletter: with US-Israeli strikes hitting oil refineries, military bases and nuclear facilities, monitors are warning that the conflict will have devastating effects

If the first casualty of war is the truth, the environment can’t come far behind.
The black rain that fell across Tehran two weekends ago was perhaps the most symbolic symptom of a litany of environmental devastation being wrought on Iran by the US-Israeli war machine since the start of the month. As I reported last week, we already know the conflict will have major long-term environmental repercussions.

Osobe s dijabetesom tipa 1 suočavaju se s većim rizikom od razvoja demencije
Prema rezultatima novog istraživanja, dijabetes tipa 1 povezan je s većim rizikom od razvoja demencije. Dijabetes tipa 2 također je povezan s većim rizikom od demencije u usporedbi s osoboma koje nema dijabetes. Ova studija pokazuje povezanost, ali ne dokazuje da dijabetes uzrokuje demenciju. Inače, dijabetes tipa 1 je rijedak i čini oko 5% slučajeva dijabetesa.

Modificirane bakterije mogu poboljšati preciznu dostavu lijekova protiv raka
Svake godine milijunima ljudi diljem svijeta dijagnosticira se rak; međutim, trenutni tretmani ograničeni su složenošću bolesti. Nova studija sugerira da bi se bakterija Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) mogla konstruirati s antitumorskim sredstvima za liječenje kancerogenih tumora kod miševa.

Visceralna masnoća povezana s rizikom od zatajenja srca putem upale
Novo istraživanje sugerira da mjere prekomjerne težine oko struka (centralna pretilost ili visceralna masnoća) mogu povećati rizik od zatajenja srca prvenstveno zbog upale. Naime, pokazalo se, da su mjerenja viših razina visceralne masnoće snažnije povezana s rizikom od zatajenja srca nego ukupna tjelesna težina, a veće mjere struka identificirale su veći rizik čak i kada je indeks tjelesne mase (ITM) izgledao normalno.

Rutinska skrb ostavlja metaboličku acidozu neotkrivenom kod kronične bolesti bubrega
Japanski registar identificirao je slijepu točku u rutinskoj skrbi pacijenata s kroničnom bolešću bubrega (CKD). Razina bikarbonata u serumu rijetko se mjeri, što metaboličku acidozu uglavnom ostavlja neotkrivenom i stoga nedovoljno liječenom. Metabolička acidoza česta je komplikacija kronične bubrežne bolesti i povezana je s gubitkom mišićne mase, bolestima kostiju, inzulinskom rezistencijom, ubrzanim propadanjem bubrega i povećanom smrtnošću. Kliničke smjernice preporučuju liječenje kada razina bikarbonata u serumu padne ispod 22 mEq/L.
