Last update: 11 hours ago

PFAS Alarm Near Industry: A new report flags “forever chemicals” in groundwater and soil tied to AI data-center expansion and herbicide manufacturing, with Louisiana mentioned among the places where PFAS concerns have already surfaced. Local Water Smarts: Lafayette is pushing native plants to cut runoff and long-term maintenance costs, rolling out a Native Landscaping Guide for residents and city projects. Gulf Tensions: Iran claims it has deployed small “invisible guardian” submarines near the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S. highlights missile power—raising stakes for global oil flow. Public Health Research: LSU is studying microplastics’ environmental behavior, while UT San Antonio lands a major rural health contract that will also track environmental and social factors behind heart and lung disease risk. New Orleans Infrastructure: The Sewerage and Water Board picked CDM Smith to manage a $1B lead line replacement push aimed at tens of thousands of homes. Wildlife & Policy: Louisiana’s menhaden restrictions largely stalled in the legislature, and the state’s recreational alligator season is moving forward.
