What we found out is that about one in five users disposes of the contact lenses by throwing them into the bathroom sink or in the toilet, lead author Rolf Halden, director of the university's Center for Environmental Health Engineering, said Monday at a news conference at a meeting of the American Chemical Society.The study was presented at the meeting but has not been published or peer-reviewed, which are considered a gold standard in medical and scientific research.After being flushed, the lenses float through the wastewater system to sewage treatment plants. Halden said the researchers tested 11 brands of contacts and found that they don't degrade during the treatment process but tear into smaller and smaller pieces.The fragments are heavier than water, so they settle into the treated sewage sludge, which is often spread on land. The lenses can then make their way into rivers, lakes and the ocean through runoff."It sounds like a very small problem, because the lenses themselves are tiny, but they come by the billions," Halden said. The study estimated that about 45 million people wear contact lenses in the US alone."What we find is that there are billions of lenses ending up in US wastewater every year. They contribute a load of at least 20,000 kilograms per year of contact lenses," Halden said. That's between 6 and 10 metric tons of lenses, according to the study.Study co-author Charlie Rolsky said contact lenses are different than short-use plastics like straws, plastic bags or styrofoam because they are so important to people who wear them."It is a very personal high-value plastic that people sort of take for granted and utilize every day of their lives," Rolsky said.Halden said people don't think of the lenses as plastic waste because they feel like fluid, almost like water. They even come in tiny packets of saline solution.But even people who describe themselves as environmentally conscious admitted flushing their lenses, he noted."We have created an almost immortal material. It does not go away. It does not biodegrade," Halden said.This is a good thing when it comes to contact lenses, because, he said, you don't want them to degrade in the user's eye, which could impair vision or become a breeding ground for bacteria.Contact lenses are a small part of the pollution problem, Rolsky said, but he hopes that the findings encourage people to think more about how to get rid of plastic waste."This might have been a different experiment had there been labeling on a lot of these boxes sort of specifying 'maybe dispose of these with solid waste and please avoid having them go down a drain'; maybe it would be a different story," he said.Contact wearers should throw their lenses in the trash or recycle them, the researchers advise. 2779

We kept reading all these incidences of children accidentally left in cars and we were really worried, said Marlene Mendoza, a mechanical engineer at Nissan who developed the technology with fellow engineer and mother, Elsa Foley.They asked themselves, "Is there something we can do?" Mendoza said.They started brainstorming and working on the concept in 2014 but the idea for the alert came while Mendoza was pregnant and accidentally left a pan of lasagna in her backseat overnight. She said the car smelled for days after but it made her wonder about what could happen if she left something -- or someone -- more important back there."It can help so many people at different levels," she said.GMC also developed a rear seat reminder feature in most of their 2018 models to help remind parents to look before they lock. Hyundai created a reminder system that detects children's movements in the backseat.While child safety advocates are pleased car companies are implementing technology, they say it cannot stop there."I think all alert systems can be helpful," said Miles Harrison, of Purcellville, Virginia. "But alert systems alone will not work. It needs to be an alert system and a regular messaging system somehow. Because most people, myself included, can't believe this can happen to them. It's so unbelievable. You can't walk in someone else's shoes."Harrison is one of the hundreds of parents and caregivers who have lost a child to vehicular heatstroke. His one-and-a-half-year-old son Chase died in July 2008 after Harrison accidentally left him in the backseat of his car and went to work instead of dropping him off at daycare. Harrison said it's imperative that more warnings and messaging about the dangers of leaving a child behind get shared in birthing centers, daycares and schools."It is terribly hard," he said. "I think part of it is this intense guilt that I still feel. The other part is I don't want parents to have to go through what I put my family through. I don't want them to have to wake up every morning like I do."The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration created the Heatstroke Awareness Challenge in July to encourage the public to create and share short videos that spread awareness about heatstroke. The organization encourages parents and caregivers to check the backseat before locking, keep the keys out of reach of children to prevent them from getting in alone, and to take action if a child is left alone in a vehicle."As temperatures around the country continue to rise, and summer schedules change routines, we recognize, tragically, that the heatstroke death toll is only going to climb," said Heidi King, the Deputy Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in an op-ed. "It's up to everyone -- parents, guardians, and even bystanders -- to end these senseless and preventable tragedies."A car's temperature can shoot up by 20 degrees in just 10 minutes and because of climate change, more days are expected to be hotter, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. A child's body overheats faster than an adult's and starts shutting down at 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Twenty-six children have died so far from heatstroke in 2018 alone, according to the US Department of Transportation."We've introduced the Hot Cars Act and it would require a reminder alert system in all new vehicles to prevent hot car deaths," said Amber Rollins, director of the safety organization KidsAndCars.org. "It's not a prescriptive bill, so it doesn't call for any specific type of technology but it calls for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to take a look at what's available and decide what the best solution would be."The bill was attached to the federal Self Drive Act, which was introduced and passed in the House in 2017. Its companion in the Senate, the AV Start Act, passed through the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee but awaits confirmation by the full Senate. If the bill doesn't make it through, Rollins said it will be reintroduced in the next congressional session.Safety can be looked at from several angles, Rollins said, citing examples of technology installed in the vehicle or added to car seats.The child seat and stroller company Evenflo created SensorSafe, a chest clip that will connect with a wireless receiver that will trigger an alert to indicate someone is in the car seat and they've been buckled in. When the driver gets to their destination, it will sound an audio reminder that there's a baby in the back, Rollins said. Parents can also download an app for an additional prompt."It's a double layer of protection," Rollins said. "You've got the proactive alert, check the backseat and if that fails, then you've got this backup reminder alert to your cell phone."There are even more sophisticated systems that would sense a child's presence through movement or carbon dioxide sensors, she added."You can also start doing something today, like putting your bag in the back," said Emma Klingman, a board member of the Sofia Foundation for Children's Safety. "It doesn't cost any money; you don't need to buy anything; you don't need a new car. We're really hoping we can help prevent this from happening to people even in the meantime as technology is being developed." 5299

Unlike on mud, grass, or other natural surfaces, rainwater has time to slow down and seep into the ground. But on a manmade surface, like a roof, concrete, or asphalt, water swiftly finds its own path to the lowest point. It quickly collects and becomes flooded. 262

Virjee said he did not personally know Chan or work directly with him but had talked with those close to him and "it is clear that he was beloved for his commitment to and passion for both Cal State Fullerton and our Titan Family." 231
