Commercially available water filters, as well as industrial scale filters for water treatment plants, tend to focus on removing heavy metals, pesticides and contaminants such as chlorine.
But with so many forever chemicals already in the environment, efforts to clean them up do not come cheap. A recent report from ChemSec, a Sweden-based non-profit that advocates for safer chemicals, found that the global societal costs – including remediation – of PFAS chemicals amount to €16tn ($17tn/£13.8tn) per year.
The past 20 years have been mind-blowing, says Jennifer Thaler, who runs the haunted house industry's biggest trade show, called TransWorld. "You go to a haunted house now and it's an evening, you're not just walking through a haunt. They've turned into three-ring circuses."
Yet it may not be as grim as all that. Marley Toben, a one-time haunted house actor and long-time lover of all things spooky, says she's willing to travel and pay for the best experiences. Toben estimates the farthest she's driven for a haunted house is about an hour and a half. How much would she pay? "Seventy-five dollars for a good one. If they charge more, my mind says they're worth more."
The Digital Services Act (DSA) requires so-called very large online platforms - those with over 45 million EU users - to proactively remove "illegal content", and show they have taken measures to do so if requested.

**TikTok has said it "immediately" took action to counter misinformation after the EU warned the platform following the attack by Hamas on Israel.**
The car tyre-sized container will be moving initially at more than 12km/s (27,000mph) and experiencing peak heating in excess of 3,000C. But a combination of a thermal shield and parachutes should bring it to a safe stop on the desert plain.
Scientists expect the samples' chemistry to reveal new information about the formation of the planets 4.5 billion years ago, and possibly even to give insights into how life got started on our world.
The prevailing thinking is that many of the key components were actually delivered to our planet early in its history in a rain of impacting asteroids, many of them perhaps just like Bennu.
The capsule caries a precious cargo - a handful of dust grabbed from asteroid Bennu, a mountain-sized space rock that promises to inform the most profound of questions: Where do we come from?
The pastures are also becoming smaller owing to more cabin fields being built. All these encroachments have led the reindeer to rely on reserve solutions, such as feeding them with hay and imported dry food.
The Sámi way of looking at things is that everything is connected. We don’t look at problems in an isolated way, but in context. By looking at things from a greater perspective, we see the real consequences of our decisions. For example, the climate changes we see today have major knock-on effects on nature and those who depend on it.
We stayed with the pair watching the intimate display in disbelief. They were acting in such a parental manor over this snow ball! Temperatures were so cold though that the ball did not seem to be melting, even against the mother's warmth, so by the time we moved on (perhaps an hour later), we left the pair to continue their parental practicing!” https://youtu.be/q7qECra-c_Q

Look for toilet paper that is 100% recycled and responsibly sourced or made from a more sustainable material like bamboo. Reduce how many sheets you use per visit.
Wet wipes cause 93% of sewage blockages in the UK, while fatbergs - the congealed lumps of fat, wipes and hair that fill our pipes - are the thing of nightmares. You probably know not to throw wipes down the toilet - even the ‘flushable’ ones don’t break down enough to not cause harm wherever they end up. Waving goodbye to wipes altogether (and single-use cotton pads/balls) and switching them for washable bamboo pads or a washcloth will take the dirty look off your cleansing routine and put more green in your cleansing routine.
However, this theory gets a little more complex when we start talking about the thickness and fit of clothing, because heat doesn't just come from the sun – it comes from our bodies too. When that heat from our bodies hits the white clothing, it is reflected back at us.
As an alternative to harvesting timber, sustainable incomes are managed, including sea cucumber and seaweed farming, and beekeeping.**5 6** Now, deforestation is being reduced and even reversed – and, as is true of a lot of these schemes, women are being empowered.
Mangroves are among the most productive and biologically complex ecosystems on Earth

One of the bottles being served at tables all night was Joyus, the sparkling white I'd tried at the beginning of my meal. Seattle-based founder Jess Selander, who has been sober 17 years, approached the duo with her wine after reading an article where they spoke openly about their goals for the sober community in the food and hospitality industry.
After one of those meetings, when the restaurant was closed, Willman Nichols brought out three NA cocktails for me to try alongside a large tray filled with NA spirits, homemade syrups and garnishes. "This is what it took to make these drinks," she said. "This is not soda and flavoured juice. It takes just as much effort to make these as our cocktails, and they're the same price."
The Prawn Taco with Pineapple Salsa recipe, featuring garlic- and paprika-seasoned prawns and pineapple salsa with crushed chilli and coriander, is delicious and quick to make, meaning you won't miss out on the Coronation celebrations. Made with healthy ingredients, it's a great addition to a celebratory buffet and offers something different to a standard sandwich.
From powering camp lights to charging communication devices—essential during emergencies such as inclement weather conditions or accidents and injury—electricity enables a host of modern conveniences. What could be better after a long day exploring, than whipping up a quick and tasty meal on an electric stove, or grabbing a perfectly chilled bottle of wine from a refrigerator and enjoying it in front of an uninterrupted sunset.
Australia has held the Commonwealth Games five times - including on the Gold Coast in 2018 and in the Victorian capital of Melbourne in 2006 - but all of the country's states on Tuesday ruled out picking up the event.
He now has more than 50 books to his name - and many awards - with two new editions of his works *An Underwater Guide to the Red Sea* and *The World's Best Tropical Dive Destinations* just released.
The Malaysian authorities said the watches were confiscated in May by the home affairs ministry's law enforcement unit because they featured "LGBT elements".

These are urban heat map images captured from space. They show the dramatic impact of green spaces, white road surfaces and water on cities, helping them cool in a natural way and resist the rise of deadly heat waves.
These high temperatures occurred during the middle of the Cretaceous known as the ‘Cretaceous Hothouse’ - a hot greenhouse effect caused by increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. But what happened in the Cretaceous to create a world where there were trees and dinosaurs roaming Antarctica unlike the barren ice fields of today?
To understand this we have to go back in geological time. Antarctica was ice free during the Cretaceous Period, lasting from 145 to 66 million years ago. That long ago may seem unfamiliar but we know it because it was the last age of the dinosaurs before an asteroid hit the earth and ended their time on this planet.
Fanaticism is always a function of repressed doubt

At peak flow the Mekong River transports as much carbon every single second as would be released by driving 10,000km in an average sized family car. Understanding carbon transfer processes is of utmost importance to understanding future climate
Large river systems in tropical regions like South Asia are hotspots of weathering due to the monsoonal climate and high mountain ranges and so they are zones of major carbon transfer from the atmosphere and continents to the oceans. Recent work has shown that this carbon transfer is not as simple as previously thought, and multiple competing processes could actually release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere
Showing results in the lab is not satisfying for anyone – we needed to be able to test our system in Uganda to show it could work
The solution that Founding Co-director of the University of Southern California Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society [CAIS] Professor Milind Tambe came up with is to apply the tools he developed in his work as an artificial intelligence researcher in security applying game theory.
At the end of the day however, images are just images – what conservationists really need to be able to dismantle traps, catch poachers in the act, and effectively monitor territories to prevent poachers from getting near animals in the first place.

A design competition in 2003 generated interest and ideas for what to do with the space. Perhaps rather sadly, a mid-city rollercoaster was considered impractical – but the idea of an above-street level garden struck a chord. And so the High Line opened in stages from 2009 to 2019, and is now a city greenway featuring over 150,000 flowers, shrubs and trees.
