It is shocking that workers are not informed of the risk of this incurable, terminal disease. Quick, informative listen🎧

PHW illustrator Andy Morris-Ruiz showed one of his recent pieces yesterday at the Barbara Jordan National Forum at the LBJ School of Public Affairs. We're proud to re-post it here.

Fifteen years ago, @ChrisDHamby and I exposed the extreme dangers associated with hydrofluoric acid at dozens of U.S. oil refineries. Last week, @RepMaxineWaters introduced legislation that would give refiners five years to phase out use of the chemical.

Nice write-up from @ScienceWriters on my book, "The Cancer Factory," which won this year's Science-in-Society award.

Remember when government scientists were admired and prioritized public health? You're excused if you don't. Listen to the story of one of those scientists, Dr. Peter Infante, in the latest episode of our "Fumed" podcast.

We told you about Channelview, TX, where residents are fighting the encroaching petrochemical industry.

Now, we bring you the story of a scientist who revealed the dangers of chemicals commonly found in Channelview’s air.

"Fumed" bonus episode out today: "The Scientist who Refused to be Intimidated." Please give it a listen; in today's anti-science, anti-government environment, it's a timely reminder of the value of public service.

Public Health Watch turned 4 yesterday. Some thoughts from our executive director on how we overcame the odds -- and why it's important to give people hope in these fraught times:

Given today's explosion at a U.S. Steel plant in Clairton, PA, I'm reupping a piece I did 13 years ago questioning safety practices at the plant. It's the story of one worker's death -- and a weak regulatory system that allowed it to happen. Still timely.

When we broke the story of a silicosis epidemic in LA more than two years ago, the total number of cases of the lung disease in CA was 52. Now it's 247. See the state's new silicosis dashboard for more data:

Regulatory agencies are far from perfect. But rules, and the people who enforce them, protect our health and safety. Having covered plane crashes in Dallas, Detroit and Reno, I know what's at stake.

The HPV vaccine doesn't just prevent cervical cancer. Had it been available, it could have saved Chris Riley's life. But vaccine skeptics, including RFK Jr., have discouraged its use - a preventable tragedy.
