Most recently, we added current data showing the relationship between land use and water quality. Now we need to add to our collection of New Jersey environmental laws and regulations so we can maintain our standard of excellence for the many people calling us for help. This is our only appeal of the year for this cause, and we hope you will be generous. In the past, the purchase of new resource materials was financed mainly by the support of fiends like you.

The following is a daily update summarizing news of interest to EPA staff. People exposed to pfiesteria piscicida during summer outbreaks in Chesapeake Bay tributaries reported a loss of memory and other symptoms that sometimes lasted weeks. There is now a study that seems to confirm that the symptoms were caused by mind-altering neurotoxins produced by pfiesteria. Researchers from Duke University have found that rats exposed to the organism's toxins experience significant neurological impairments. Edward Levin, director of Duke's Integrated Toxicology Program, injected rats with pfiesteria cells and then had them run through a series of mazes.
