Living with microplastics, and finding ways to reduce exposure

By Will Atwater Since the 1950s, plastic has seemingly become the Swiss Army knife of daily living. It’s in everything from medical devices and car parts to electronics, clothing and more. Plastic’s multifunctionality has helped drive down product costs across many industries, including plumbing, where PVC is a durable, less costly alternative to galvanized pipe. Yet the same qualities that make plastic so useful — durability, light weight and low cost — also make it hard to avoid....

NC lawmakers urged to boost Safe Sleep funding after 1,100 infant deaths in less than a decade

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled the Belivium Baby Lounger in October 2025 due to concerns that it created an unsafe sleep environment for infants....

Proposed industrial wastewater rules ‘completely inadequate’

By Trista Talton Coastal Review FAYETTEVILLE — Proposed monitoring and minimization rules for industrial dischargers of 1,4-dioxane and the public sewage plants that accept those facilities’ waste fail to protect North Carolinians’ drinking water, speakers at a public hearing said Tuesday. All but one of the 13 people who spoke at the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission’s hearing at Fayetteville Technical Community College criticized the proposed rules, arguing those rules fall short in reducing the amounts of 1,4-dioxane discharged into people’s drinking water sources and lack enforcement....

UNC-Wilmington seeks approval for four-year medical school

By Clayton Henkel NC Newsline University of North Carolina at Wilmington Chancellor Aswani Volety told members of the UNC System’s Board of Governors Wednesday that the time is right for his university to add an accredited four-year medical school with a three-year accelerated track.

Taming the ‘Wild West’ era of the h**p and cannabis market in N.C.

By Anne Blythe Behind the colorful packaging designed to appeal to young people on the shelves of many North Carolina v**e shops lurks a dangerous lack of transparency, public health advocates and law enforcement agencies caution.
