Tomatoes, but not farm workers, gardeners, safe from soil lead
Scientists don't know much about how vegetables and other crops take up and accumulate lead in real-world settings, but new research in Chicago backyard gardens shows tomatoes are likely safe to eat, even when grown in highly lead-contaminated soils.
In a Hotter World, Air Conditioning Isn’t a Luxury, It’s a Lifesaver
