RADIO IOWA: UI research finds atrazine in Iowa water, leaves, household dust

Researchers at the University of Iowa have found several pesticides often used on farms are showing up in surface water, urban trees and even household dust. The researchers say the results provide new insights into how pesticides travel through Iowa’s environment. For example, the herbicide atrazine is mostly used for corn production, but it was detected in 91% of water samples from streams and rivers in northeast Iowa and 96% of leaf samples collected in Iowa City.

A study finds a rise in early-stage cancer diagnoses may have been a driving factor in Iowa’s increasing cancer rate

A study finds a rise in early-stage cancer diagnoses may have been a driving factor in Iowa’s increasing cancer rate. The American Cancer Society looked at cancer in Iowa between 2001 and 2022 and found Iowa’s cancer rates started to rise compared to neighboring states after 2013. Daniel Wiese, a principal scientist for the cancer society, says cancer screening and prevention played a role, particularly for early-stage prostate cancer and breast cancer. Wiese says, “People were diagnosed with cancers early, or at such an early stage, which is actually good for the patients at the same time, because at those stages, cancers are usually better treatable.” Iowa has the second highest rate of new cancer diagnoses in the country and is one of three states with a rising rate of cancer cases. Wiese says the research finds a rise in early detection played a role in the increase in Iowa’s cancer cases. “The major increases for men were happening in prostate cancer for localized stage and for melanoma, which were detected earlier,” Wiese says. “This was even more noticeable for women in terms of breast cancer, where we saw the largest increase, specifically at the localized stage.” Wiese says further research needs to be conducted on environmental and health factors.

Iowa Lands In Middle Of Pack For College Education Costs

A recent report from personal finance company WalletHub found Iowa in the middle of the pack for post-secondary education costs nationwide. Analysts collected the cost of attendance for full-time, in-state college students living on campus and compared those figures to median annual household incomes in 48 states. They found Iowa ranked 30th for education costs as a percentage of income at 45.45 percent. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Iowa’s median household income is about $75,500, meaning students generally spend about $34,000 per year on average to attend a four-year university. Rhode Island ranked as the most expensive state for a college education, with households spending nearly $88,000 per year or 90.2 percent of their median household income. Maine was the second most expensive, costing just under $60,000 per year, or 80.2 percent, followed by Pennsylvania at 73.7 percent, or about $57,500 per year. Utah was the most cost-effective, spending approximately $26,700 per year, or 27.58 percent of median household income. Hawaii was second cheapest, costing 35.87 percent of income, followed by Nevada at 35.88 percent. Alaska and Wyoming were excluded due to data limitations. With inflation adjustments, the cost to attend a public four-year university has doubled since 1963, rising from 13 percent of median U.S. household income to 26 percent, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics.
