Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (commonly referred to as PFAS) are emerging as significant environmental hazards, particularly in areas like North Carolina’s Cumberland and Bladen counties. A recent study from North Carolina State University underscores the staggering timelines associated with PFAS remediation; it suggests that contaminated groundwater might take upwards of 40 years to recover. The
Walking has long been hailed as one of the simplest forms of exercise, easily accessible to individuals of all ages. Traditionally, many have aimed for the well-known target of 10,000 steps a day, a number rooted in a marketing campaign from the 1960s in Japan. However, recent investigations have opened the door to a more
Walking on the Moon is an experience that few have had the privilege to undertake. Since humanity’s last lunar adventure during NASA’s Apollo 17 mission in 1972, anticipation for a return to the Moon has only intensified. The Artemis program, spearheaded by NASA, seeks to revitalize manned lunar exploration and mark a new chapter in
