University of Illinois hits 1,000,000 coronavirus tests faster than 10 U.S. states Aarthi Swaminathan
This means that the school which is located in Central Illinois, about 150 miles south of Chicago has done more tests than the states of Wyoming, Vermont, South Dakota, Montana, Hawaii, Idaho, Delaware, Kansas, New Hampshire, and Maine.
“This milestone is far more than an accumulation of lab results,” the school’s chancellor Robert Jones said in a statement. “Every one of those million tests was a personal decision to protect friends, co-workers, and complete strangers.”
“We knew that testing was going to be really important, but testing is not a silver bullet,” Martin Burke, a chemistry professor at the university who helped design the school’s COVID-19 test, told Yahoo Finance.
Hazardous chemicals in plastics threaten human health
Plastics contain and leach hazardous chemicals, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that threaten human health. An authoritative new report, Plastics, EDCs, & Health, from the Endocrine Society and the IPEN (International Pollutants Elimination Network), presents a summary of international research on the health impacts of EDCs and describes the alarming health effects of widespread contamination from EDCs in plastics.
EDCs are chemicals that disturb the body s hormone systems and can cause cancer, diabetes, reproductive disorders, and neurological impairments of developing fetuses and children. The report describes a wealth of evidence supporting direct cause-and-effect links between the toxic chemical additives in plastics and specific health impacts to the endocrine system.
