  • Wisconsin Has New Pesticide Problem

    A bee lands on a flower at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum. Wisconsin has developed a proposal for protecting bees and other pollinators, including butterflies.

  • Tainted Water: Consumers Bear Costs of Polluted Water

    Residents of homes with infants or expectant mothers are advised not to drink water with nitrate, which can be deadly to babies and may be linked to birth defects. And no one should drink water above the maximum contaminant level, which was the case with 10 percent of private wells in Wisconsin sampled in a recent study. Some residents who have found high levels of nitrate in their drinking water have turned to bottled water and treatment methods such as reverse osmosis to make their water safe. Photo by Dee J.

  • Tainted Water: Nitrate Pollutes State’s Drinking Water

    Dick Swanson of Algoma carries dolls painted blue to highlight “blue baby syndrome,” a condition caused when infants drink water polluted by nitrate. Swanson, a member of the advocacy group Kewaunee Cares, attended a “stink-in” with about 50 others on the steps of the Wisconsin State Capitol on Nov. 7 to protest pollution from concentrated animal feeding operations. Activists blame large-scale farming operations for contaminating drinking water in Kewaunee County and elsewhere. Photo by Abigail Becker of the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism.
