EPA to limit toxic 'forever chemicals' in drinking water

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:41:17 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed the first federal limits on harmful “forever chemicals” in drinking water, a long-awaited protection the agency said will save thousands of lives and prevent serious illnesses, including cancer.The plan would limit toxic PFAS chemicals to the lowest level that tests can detect. PFAS, or per- and polyfluorinated substances, are a group of compounds that are widespread, dangerous and expensive to remove from water. They don’t degrade in the environment and are linked to a broad range of health issues, including low birthweight and kidney cancer.“The science is clear that long-term exposure to PFAS is linked to significant health risks,” Radhika Fox, assistant EPA administrator for water, said in an interview.Fox called the federal proposal a “transformational change” for improving the safety of drinking water in the United States. The agency estimates the rule could reduce PFAS exposure for nearly 100 million Am...

Private sector hiring in Colorado sees disappointing results in January

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:41:17 GMT

Private-sector employers in the state failed to grow their payrolls in January, a disappointing start to the new year, but revisions show the state’s unemployment rate was much lower than first thought in 2022, according to a delayed update from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.Employers added 800 jobs in January, but those came entirely from the public sector, and they represented a sharp comedown from last year’s average of 5,225 jobs added a month. Educational and health services added 2,200 jobs, while professional and business services added 1,300 on a seasonally-adjusted basis. But on the other side of the teeter-totter, financial activities lost 1,300 jobs and construction lost 1,100.“Weather could have been a factor in the lack of job growth. It was a cold and snowy January,” said Ryan Gedney, a senior economist with the CDLE, during a news call on Monday.Construction hiring is especially vulnerable to bad weather, but something bigger ...

Bosses say nearly half of meetings should disappear

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:41:17 GMT

By Matthew Boyle, BloombergTired of attending useless meetings? Turns out, your boss is probably sick of them, too.Executives spend an average of 25 hours a week in meetings, yet nearly half of those Zoom calls and project updates could disappear without any negative impact, according to a survey of more than 10,000 desk workers by Future Forum, a research consortium backed by Salesforce Inc.-owned Slack Technologies. The top reason why business leaders go to unproductive meetings is that they thought it would be a good use of time, but ultimately wasn’t. They also attend because they’re afraid to miss something important, and to show their own manager they’re working, the survey found. For those lower down the corporate ladder, the most common reason for showing up is obvious: They don’t have a choice.The findings come as many organizations try to assess which meetings really matter, and which ones could be jettisoned in an increasingly hybrid workplace where staffers aren’t typica...
