pbs.org/newshour/nation/new-epa-rule-says-more-than-200-u-s-chemical-plants-must-reduce-toxic-emissions
Quick Glance: New EPA Rule Mandates 218 US Chemical Plants to Reduce Toxic Emissions
- A new rule from the Environmental Protection Agency will require over 200 chemical plants nationwide to reduce toxic emissions likely to cause cancer. This rule advances President Joe Biden's commitment to environmental justice by providing crucial health protections for communities burdened by industrial pollution from ethylene oxide, chloroprene, and other dangerous chemicals.
- The rule will significantly decrease emissions of chloroprene and other pollutants, impacting the Denka Performance Elastomer facility in LaPlace, Louisiana, the largest source of chloroprene emissions in the country. Democratic Representative Troy Carter hailed the new rule as "a monumental step" to safeguard public health and the environment.
- The EPA will cut over 6,200 tons of toxic air pollutants annually and implement fenceline monitoring to address health risks in surrounding communities, promoting environmental justice in Louisiana and other states. Environmental activists see the rule as a victory for environmental justice, representing a significant step towards clean air and safe communities.
- Focusing on toxic emissions, the rule provides protection for communities that have suffered from underregulated emissions. The introduction of fenceline monitoring for six toxic air pollutants is crucial for ensuring accountability and transparency. This rule marks a significant stride towards a more just and equitable environmental protection framework.

reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/geneos-cancer-vaccine-shrinks-liver-tumors-small-trial-2024-04-07/
Quick Glance: Successful Shrinkage of Liver Tumors with Geneos Vaccine
- In a small, early study, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday that almost a third of patients with advanced liver cancer who received a personalized vaccine from Geneos Therapeutics along with an immunotherapy drug observed a reduction in their tumors.
- The findings of the preliminary study, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research in San Diego and published in Nature Medicine, indicate that vaccines based on mutations unique to a patient's tumor can enhance the immune system's ability to detect and combat challenging cancers.
- A cohort of 36 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, the most prevalent form of liver cancer, was enrolled in the study. Nearly a third of the patients treated with the combination therapy (30.1%) experienced tumor shrinkage, with three of them exhibiting a complete response and showing no detectable signs of the tumor after a median follow-up of 21.5 months.
- In contrast to numerous vaccine candidates utilizing messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, the Geneos treatment is a DNA vaccine that introduces the genetic code of mutated proteins into cells via a small electrical impulse. Each vaccine has the capability to target up to 40 mutated genes.

Apple lays off more than 600 workers in California in its first major round of post-pandemic cuts
apnews.com/article/apple-layoffs-tech-iphone-workers-9f10788b1d3552385ee8c7b20209ce17
Quick Glance: Apple lays off over 600 workers in California: First major post-pandemic job cuts
- Apple is carrying out over 600 layoffs in California, representing the company's initial significant wave of job cuts following the pandemic, within a broader context of tech industry consolidation.
- According to reports to regional authorities, 614 employees were informed on March 28 in various offices that they would be losing their jobs, with the dismissals taking effect on May 27.
- The eliminated employees came from eight offices in Santa Clara, as indicated in the submissions under the state's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, also known as WARN. However, the specific departments or projects of the workers remain undisclosed.
- Apple did not respond to an early Friday request for comment. The company, headquartered in Cupertino, California, stood out as a noteworthy anomaly while other tech firms downsized their workforce over the last two years. Amidst a surge in hiring during the COVID-19 crisis, with increased online activity and spending, major tech companies have maintained a larger scale post-pandemic. Yet, the current trend entails a shift towards cost reduction as growth rates decelerate.
But it really isn't easy either ... 😂
