But PCBs’ most persistent legacy is the invisible harm they wreak on the brains of the young. Industry and some media accounts downplay small exposures as innocuous— claiming that “50 bathtubs’ full” of PCBs at low concentration is required to do harm— but this has not been proven. In reality, extremely small amounts of PCBs harm the developing nervous systems of fetuses and children. Even very low concentrations are harmful for immature brains during their critical windows of development. In 2000, researchers calculated that a PCB concentration of just 5 parts per billion in a pregnant mother’s blood can have adverse effects on a developing fetal brain, giving rise to attention and IQ deficits that appear permanent. Five parts per billion is equivalent to one drop in 118 bathtubs full of water.

Despite being saturated with environmental poisons, Anniston became an icon of normalcy when it was named the “All American City” in 1978. The very next year, Snow Creek began to run red, heightening residents’ suspicions about the effects of chemical exposures in their communities. In 1996, one of the dumps started leaking. It was then that residents began learning the extent of their contamination. Years of unchecked chemical dumping had utterly poisoned the lands of Anniston’s black neighborhoods. A former union organizer, David Baker took action, channeling the pain of his brother’s loss into ensuring that the citizens of Anniston receive justice. He created Community Against Pollution in 1998 to force the chemical companies to clean up the contamination and compensate those harmed by it.

Now, the separate associations that ran the two cemeteries are merging to send a message of unity and to strengthen their ability to care for the space.

Mr. Trump, aides said, is open to spending some of the money on similar improvements. His idea of a smart wall was inspired by the one built by Israel on its border with Gaza, which uses high-tech surveillance equipment, including closed-circuit cameras.

The bird of prey flew out of a ditch as Brandon Husband and his wife, Jennifer, sped on their Harley-Davidson on Saturday afternoon on a rural road in southern Kansas, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

The International Peace Garden straddles the border between the United States and Canada. It is the only place where people can cross freely without reporting to any checkpoint. That doesn’t mean the boundary is invisible – far from it. In fact, the boundary defines the International Peace Garden. Nor does the Garden provide an easy way to sneak into either country. There’s only one way out. Turn left toward Canada and you’re confronted with a border barrier. Same thing when you turn right into the United States.
