Air pollution from farms leads to 17,900 U.S. deaths per year, study finds Sarah Kaplan © Alex Wroblewski/Bloomberg A hog farm stands surrounded by floodwater in this aerial photograph taken above Vanceboro, N.C., U.S., in 2018 in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. A new study claims that more than 17,000 annual deaths are attributable to pollution from farms across the U.S. The smell of hog feces was overwhelming, Elsie Herring said. The breezes that wafted from the hog farm next to her mother’s Duplin County, N.C., home carried hazardous gases: methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide. “The odor is so offensive that we start gagging, we start coughing,” she told a congressional committee in November 2019. Herring, who died last week, said she and other residents developed headaches, breathing problems and heart conditions from the fumes.

Lake Norman To Be Filled With Weed-Eating Fish Patch 5 days ago © Shutterstock
HUNTERSVILLE, NC The Lake Norman Marine Commission (LNMC) has announced that on Tuesday it will be stocking Lake Norman with 700 sterile grass carp in order to control the growth of hydrilla on the lake.
The public is welcome to come view the release of the fish, which will take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Blythe Landing in Huntersville, 15901 Hwy 73.
According to the Town of Cornelius Facebook page, hydrilla is an aggressive, invasive, non-native aquatic weed that left unchecked can negatively impact a lake or reservoir in just a few years. Dense stands of the plant can lower dissolved oxygen in the water, interfere with boating, swimming, power generation, water intakes, cause extensive sedimentation and lower surrounding property values.
