AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoFlood & Sewage Safety: KDHE issued regional public health advisories for parts of South Central and Southeast Kansas, urging residents to avoid flooded rivers and streams after heavy rain raised concerns about possible sewage contamination and wastewater bypasses; the advisory covers counties including Cowley, Elk, Chautauqua, Montgomery, Labette and Cherokee, and will be rescinded once water levels drop and bypasses are controlled. Cancer & Pesticides: A Michigan State University study found a modest link between endocrine-disrupting pesticide use and higher breast cancer incidence in rural U.S. counties, raising fresh questions about chemical exposure and public health. Air Quality Watch: Cherokee County is monitoring landfill odors in Galena after residents reported rotten-egg smells tied to hydrogen sulfide and a smoky odor that residents say has shifted toward burning asphalt/rubber; KDHE and EPA did limited air monitoring, and county data is posted publicly. Wildlife/Water Education: Konza Prairie’s education program is bringing hands-on tallgrass prairie learning to thousands of Kansas students each year, focusing on ecology and how fire, grazing and climate shape the ecosystem.
