===== Scientists find DNA proof of swine feces in North Carolina homes ===== | |||
[https://www.northcarolinahealthnews.org/2025/06/07/scientists-find-dna-proof-of-swine-feces-in-north-carolina-homes/ by Daily Yonder 7/6/25 NC Health News] | |||
In Duplin County, North Carolina, there is a pollutant that hangs in the air, the water and the soil. It tumbles in the breeze and into homes through open windows, settling as a thin film of dust on their kitchen tables. It gloops together in masses of sludge in the surface water that feeds their creeks and streams. The fresh, nostalgic smell of seawater along the county coast has dissipated, replaced by a permanent foul smell from nearby swine factory farms, similar to that of a decomposing body, residents say. Policymakers have long ignored their complaints but new research from Johns Hopkins University publishing soon could finally show scientific evidence of pollution that officials can’t ignore. | |||
