even if manufacturers say it’s safe. Sewer system experts aren't convinced "flushable wipes" break down fast enough to prevent problems. In Colorado Springs new technology aims to hold flushers accountable for any problems. "What would you see right here it's a common typical everyday scenario as you can see a lot of baby wipes," said Colorado Springs Utilities Wastewater Operator Chris Fernandez. "Flushable wipes, toys, plastics anything that somebody would throw in a toilet it's going to come here." Fernandez is a wastewater operator at a Colorado Springs facility that treats more than 30 million gallons of wastewater each day. "This is something that needs to be addressed. Over the years it has gotten worse," said Fernandez. He showed KOAA how thousands of pounds of wet wipes are pulled from the sewage drains each week and piled up in rollaway dumpsters. "That's 99% baby wipes or any kind of wipes," said Fernandez. This year alone, crews have had to haul away 100 of these dumpsters full of wipes. "As that non-organic material flows down through our sewer systems that can cause blockages it can hit homes and you can possibly even back up basements," said Fernandez. For years, wastewater companies have tried to educate the public about the problem. Now, new technology is helping to hold those who flush wipes accountable. "You know if there's a stoppage we'll get it investigated and then you know there could be a lot of ramifications for whoever is flushing these wipes down the drain if we can show a tap where it's coming from a business or residence then you know could be a lot of legal right ramifications for them," said Colorado Springs Utilities Operations Supervisor Dave Dunlap. Using robotic cameras, Colorado Springs Utilities crews get a glimpse into the sewer lines, pinpointing who is causing problems for the city's wastewater system. "If you can actually visually see something as opposed to just running a cleaning tool through it and bring it back, I mean you might find something you might not. this actually shows it to you, so I say it's a game-changer for us," said Dunlap. More than 100 miles south in Trinidad, many residents use septic tanks and according to J.J. Rivera, a septic tank pumper, the flushing of wipes is causing problems for them as well. "They go buy a home in the hills because it's peaceful, tranquil. oh, don't worry we'll just keep our habits going. Pretty soon... honey, lines are backed up. Honey, there's stuff in the basement. Oh, I didn't know. So here we go out and find the problem, 90% of it is wipes. They're like, we had no idea," said Rivera who runs Little Stinker Septic Service. Rivera's family has been in the septic service business for decades and says the decision to flush wet wipes has been life changing for some of his customers, costing them tens of thousands of dollars to fix the problems. "What made them listen was they got hit in the pocketbook," said Rivera. "That was money they were planning on vacation, we were going to go do this we are going to buy new car, oh my god it just vanished because we were doing something we were not supposed to but we are accustomed to." While the nationwide debate continues over just how flushable the flushable wipes really are, Rivera hopes someone will develop wipes that can set a new standard helping to limit the damage caused by wipes in the pipes. According to the market research group Euromonitor International, sales of personal wipes reached .2 billion in North America in 2015 and the market continues to grow. The biggest manufacturers of flushable wipes say their products don't pose a risk to sewage systems. Wastewater experts disagree and advise people to play it safe and throw wipes in the trash.This story was originally published by Patrick Nelson at KOAA. 3832

Yes, an asteroid is heading toward earth and is expected to get close on November 2. But you should still plan on voting November 3, the asteroid is “not big enough to cause harm,” said astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.Asteroid 2018VP1 is about the size of a refrigerator, hurtling toward Earth at more than 25,000 miles-per-hour. Tyson says the asteroid will “buzz-cut” Earth on November 2, but is not expected to cause any harm.NASA says the asteroid only has a .41 percent chance of entering Earth’s atmosphere. Even if it did, the space agency says, “it would disintegrate due to its extremely small size.”“So if the world ends in 2020, it won’t be the fault of the Universe,” Tyson wrote on social media. 719

With various areas of the US under an air quality alert due to recent wildfires, dog owners now have a way to protect to their pets from wildfire smoke.The K-9 Mask, which officially launched in 2019, uses four layers of air filtration to block smoke particles from entering dogs’ lungs. It is shaped like a muzzle to fit over the dog’s mouth and nose.The masks come in four sizes and retail for .99 on its website.In Fall 2018, Evan Daugherty and Kirby Holmes began testing prototypes for the mask amid wildfires in California.After a successful test, Daugherty and Holmes used a crowdfunding campaign to fully fund the project. After 175 donors gave the duo more than ,000, they were able to produce and distribute the K-9 mask starting in 2019.Both the EPA and American Veterinary Medical Association say that smoke from wildfires can be harmful for pets.“Animals with cardiovascular or respiratory disease are especially at risk from smoke and should be closely watched during all periods of poor air quality,” the American Veterinary Medical Association says.The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends pet owners look for the following symptoms amid wildfires and times of poor air quality:Coughing or gaggingDifficulty breathing, including open mouth breathing and increased noise when breathingEye irritation and excessive wateringInflammation of throat or mouthNasal dischargeAsthma-like symptomsIncreased breathing rateFatigue or weaknessDisorientation or stumblingReduced appetite and/or thirst 1530

-- and its wider implications for human mental health treatment -- was found in their poop, per new findings published in Behavioural Brain Research.Rats are better drivers when they're mentally stimulatedKelly Lambert, study author and head of the University of Richmond's Lambert Behavioral Neuroscience Laboratory, trained two groups of young rats: One bunch raised in an "enriched environment" with toys, ladders, balls and pieces of wood designed to spark mental stimulation, and another reared in a standard, unexciting lab cage.The rats learned to enter a custom "rat-operated vehicle," or ROV, adorably constructed from a one-gallon plastic container turned on its side.Once inside, the rat racers would stand on an aluminum plate and press on a copper bar that would trigger the wheels' motor. They'd hold down on the bar until they propelled their tiny car to the end of their enclosure, where they collected their reward: Froot Loops.When it came time to drive, the rats who played with ladders, balls and toys were more adept at operating and steering the ROV, thanks to the neuroplasticity (their brains' ability to change over time) triggered by their environment. Their unstimulated cage counterparts effectively "failed their driving test," Lambert said.Hormones found in their feces showed improved emotional resilienceIn sifting through their fecal matter, Lambert found both groups of rats trained to drive secreted higher levels of corticosterone and DHEA, hormones that control stress responses.Corticosterone is a hormone animals could secrete in high-stakes scenarios like running from a wild animal or defending themselves from predators, but it can also be expressed in lower-risk tasks like doing taxes or worrying about a loved one (though rats likely aren't advanced enough to form a government, let alone impose taxes on fellow rats).DHEA acts as a sort of "buffer," Lambert said, when corticosterone becomes toxic -- that is, when it can't be turned off in a reasonable amount of time, creating prolonged stress.It's evidence that mastering a complex task, like driving a car, bolstered the rats' emotional resilience."It is likely that driving gives the rats a sense of control over their environment," she said. "In humans, we would say that it enhances a sense of agency or self-efficacy."What have rats got to do with human health?The brains of humans and rats share nearly all of the same areas and neurochemicals -- they're just smaller in rodents. And though humans are certainly more complex than rats, Lambert said there are "universal truths" in how both species' brains interact within their environment to maintain optimal mental health.So these results have implications for human health, too (and no, they don't mean rats will drive alongside people in tiny lanes on highways). Emotional resilience is one of the first lines of defense against mental illnesses like depression, she said, and learning what behaviors build that up could clue physicians in on how to treat those illnesses in humans.It's a concept Lambert refers to as "behaviorceuticals," activities that release hormones that can ward off prolonged stress brought on by corticosterone."Anything that reduces stress can build resilience against the onset of mental illness," she said.The activity can be something as simple as knitting, or in rats' case, learning to drive a car. Just engaging hands, paws and brains of varying sizes can enhance a participant's sense of control. 3489
