A new study lends weight to fears that more livestock workers have gotten the bird flu than has been reported. “I am very confident there are more people being infected than we know about,” said Gregory Gray, the infectious disease researcher at the University of Texas Medical Branch who led the study, posted online Wednesday and under review to be published in a leading infectious disease journal. “Largely, that’s because our surveillance has been so poor.” As bird flu cases go underreported, health officials risk being slow to notice if the virus were to become more contagious.

La Junta de Normas de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional del estado aprobó la regulación en junio, pero necesitaba ser evaluada para su cumplimiento legal. “...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Californians working indoors are getting immediate protections from extreme heat as much of the state bakes in triple-digit temperatures this week. California has had heat standards on the books for outdoor workers since 2005, but the state announced Wednesday that a set of rules for indoor workers had been finalized following an expedited review. The state’s Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board approved the regulation last month, but it needed to be vetted for legal compliance. “This regulation provides protections for workers across California and helps prepare...

HOUSTON — As Tina Kitzmiller sat inside her sweltering apartment, windows and doors open in the hope of catching even the slightest breeze, she was frustrated and worried for her dog and her neighbors. It had been days since Hurricane Beryl blew ashore from the Gulf of Mexico on July 8, causing widespread destruction and knocking out power to more than 2 million people, including the Houston senior independent living facility where Kitzmiller lives. Outdoor temperatures had reached at least 90 degrees most days, and the heat inside the building was stifling. Kitzmiller moved there not long ago...

With the Environmental Protection Agency’s latest — and strictest — plan to minimize the risk of Americans drinking lead-contaminated water on the horizon, the debate over whether the rules go too far or not nearly far enough is reaching a tipping point. Although lead was banned from new water service lines in 1986, it’s estimated that more than 9 million such lines still carry drinking water to homes and businesses throughout the country. Under the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements proposal, water utilities would be required to replace all lead-containing lines within 10 years. The prop...

Shhhooo. Wee-uuu. Chick, chick, chick. Ese es el sonido de tres especies diferentes de cigarras. Para algunos, esos sonidos son la canción del verano. Otros desearían que los insectos bajaran el volumen. La cacofonía puede ser especialmente irritante para las personas en el espectro autista que tienen sensibilidad auditiva. Warren Rickly, de 14 años, vive en los suburbios del sur del condado de St. Louis, en Missouri. Warren, que tiene autismo, estaba en la parada del autobús recientemente esperando a su hermano menor cuando el sonido de las cigarras se volvió insoportable. “Dijo que suena com...
