What can local residents do to help humanitarian efforts in Ukraine? The proprietors of Superior’s Earth Rider Brewery answered that question by hosting a benefit concert in their Cedar Lounge for the nonprofit medical group Doctors Without Borders. A dozen acts quickly signed on, and an excerpt of the show is featured this week on “Simply Superior.” Host Robin Washington speaks with Earth Rider’s Tim Nelson about the concert and how listeners can help.
Also, earlier this year, the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board voted to weaken the standard for PFAS in drinking water, resulting in a limit more than triple the amount recommended by health officials. WPR’s Rick Reyer speaks with Steve Elmore, the DNR’s director of drinking water and groundwater, and Wisconsin Department of Health Services toxicologist Dr. Sarah Yang about just what PFAS are, their potential health risks to humans, and possible solutions to limit that harm.
