#Toxins
https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025/10/02/ai-toxins-biosecurity-risks/. Very worrying indeed. The thought of #terrorists getting their hands on AI-designed biochemical #toxins ought to give us all nightmares.
#Microsoft researchers used #AI to discover a #vulnerability in #biosecuritysystems designed to prevent the #misuse of #DNA. The AI was able to redesign #toxins to evade detection by screening software, highlighting the need for enhanced screening procedures and enforcement mechanisms. While some experts believe monitoring #genesynthesis is still a practical approach, others argue that #biosecurity should be integrated into #AIsystems. https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/02/1124767/microsoft-says-ai-can-create-zero-day-threats-in-biology/?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI
#NYC reverses long-running claim it can't find documents on what City Hall knew about #9/11 #toxins
"After claiming for more than two decades they couldn’t find any documents about what City Hall knew about the dangers of the 9/11 toxins swirling around #GroundZero, city lawyers have announced that they, indeed, have found records to share, the Daily News has learned."

New light on toxicity of Bluefin tuna
Researchers have unveiled how Atlantic Bluefin #tuna transforms the toxic form of #mercury into less harmful forms. Their study shows that the tuna’s edible muscle contains not only toxic #methylmercury, but also mercury bound in stable, non-toxic compounds.

Thousands of tonnes of toxic landfill liquid added to sewage and spread on English farms | Farming | The Guardian

The UK, an open air toilet, and worse.
'Megson said his “main concern is the toxic chemical load … passing through those sites and then directly into our food chain”. He said landfill leachate “can contain thousands of toxic chemicals. They were buried for a reason … we don’t want them in our wider environment.”'
"... Poor pesticide spraying practices in the Nambucca Valley and Coffs Harbour regions...Chemical banned by European Union still used in Australia."
When you drive from Nambucca Valley to the Coffs Harbour regions you can see giant white plastic nets enclosing blueberries, raspberries and blackberries plantations. There are toxic chemicals on some berries, the water and the area.
"Banned chemical thiometon detected in berries sold at supermarkets."
"Blueberry farming has boomed in NSW, including in the Nambucca Valley, as minimal red tape is required to set up. Blueberry farms can be started without formal registration or oversight, making it hard for authorities to track pesticide use. Since January 2022, the EPA has prosecuted 21 pesticide-related incidents across a range of crops in local courts across NSW... The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) announced a review into the use of dimethoate on blueberries, raspberries and blackberries."

"An antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning could come from bacteria.
Mice treated with a tweaked version of a bacterial protein rapidly cleared carbon monoxide from their blood, safely eliminating it through urine, researchers report in the Aug. 12 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

We start #clostpath14 with #toxins from a diverse range of Clostridia, with Sabine Pellet giving an overview on distinct subclass of #botulinum neurotoxins
the most dangerous #environmental #toxins, radioactive substances, heavy metals, chlorinated organics and #PFAS behave this way. every once in a while it enters human food and everyone freaks out, meanwhile living happily in total ignorance that, for example, 78 million people in the US already live within 3 miles of a superfund site & if you die from pollution than most likely from a heart problem caused by daily air pollution.
'It's a sick river. There are dangerous contaminants.'
"The Belubula River is an endangered ecological community.
"Foam containing high levels of the forever chemical PFOS have appeared on a river in central-west NSW for a second year.These concentrations just in the river are bad."
'Future studies should include the assessment of likely real exposures: platypus, livestock or humans, together with PFAS fingerprinting," Professor Naidu said."
