Infamous ‘Erin Brockovich’ Toxin Polluted Air for Months After LA Fires

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-27 23:00:29

The January wildfires left many scars on the city of Los Angeles, from rubble-reduced homes to torched abandoned vehicles. Though cleanup crews quickly cleared much of the debris, one alarming invisible impact lingered over the city for months, a new study suggests. In late March—more than two months after the flames died out—researchers detected levels of carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (a.k.a. chromium-6) 200 times greater than baseline levels for LA air.

DJI Mic 3 Review: The Best Wireless Mic Gets Better

wired.com Sam Kieldsen 2025-10-28 00:00:00

When DJI announced the Mic 3 just 18 months after the excellent Mic 2, I didn’t really get it. The Mic 2 has been my own go-to wireless microphone (bought with my own money, no less) for over a year now, and it still feels new to me. What could justify yet another iteration so soon? It took about five seconds with the Mic 3 in my hands to understand exactly what DJI was thinking. The transmitter units are dramatically smaller and lighter than those on the Mic 2, so much so that they feel like e

I took a deep dive on my hunt for the best greens powders, speaking with dietitians and trying popular brands to uncover whether or not they're worth the money. The health supplement market is booming. Thanks to a 1994 FDA ruling that supplements are food and not medicine, it's also unregulated—people are purchasing products that may or may not work, and which could have almost anything in them. Spoiler alert: Greens powders aren’t harmful, ultimately, but the dietitians I spoke to agreed that
