Chemicals can affect water safety
May is Kentucky Water Awareness Month. We can observe it by helping keep our groundwater safe from contaminants.
Agricultural chemicals are an important part of farming, but, if misapplied, can lead to groundwater contamination. As farmers plant and grow crops this year, they should take steps to reduce the chance of farm chemicals in groundwater:
Read the manufacturer’s label for each chemical and follow label directions for safe use and disposal.

Learn before you burn, prevent fires and fines
Spring cleaning season has arrived and for many Kentuckians it means burning unwanted debris. The Kentucky Division for Air Quality reminds you to learn before you burn.
Smoke from open burning is a health problem that affects everyone but especially children, the elderly and those with existing ailments like asthma. Children also breathe 50 percent more oxygen per pound of body weight than adults do, so their lungs are exposed to more harmful pollutants.

Emerald ash borers starting to emerge
The first case of emerald ash borers emerging this spring was found the week of April 16 in Jefferson County. Since the borers do not emerge all at once, owners of ash trees need to watch for signs of the pest during the next three to four weeks, said Lee Townsend, extension entomology professor in the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture.
The borer’s emergence is almost three weeks ahead of normal due to the mild winter and a very warm March, Townsend said.
