High levels of #ToxicChemicals found in #BrunswickMaine airport hangar #sewers
#CitizenPFAS monitoring revealed concerning levels of toxic chemicals in the sewer outfall of #Hangar6 in Brunswick, though a company hired to assess risk at the hangar said there is no leak of the toxic firefighting foams on the premises.

"A citizens group’s testing revealed that sewer water flowing from Hangar 6 at Brunswick’s airport has high levels of harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, better known as PFAS.
"#FriendsOfMerrymeetingBay conducted testing on Nov. 26. The tests detected high levels of a particularly toxic #PFAS chemical compound known as #PFOS. The update comes the same day the owner of the hangar, the #MidcoastRegionalRedevelopmentAuthority, sent a letter to the town stating that tanks that stored the chemicals were not leaking.
"PFOS is a compound known to be harmful to human health and is found in high levels in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). Brunswick Executive Airport’s Hangar 4, which is owned by the Navy but operated by MRRA, dumped 1,450 gallons of AFFF concentrate mixed with 50,000 gallons of water on Aug. 19, 2024.
"The spill prompted ongoing cleanup and monitoring efforts as well as a push to get rid of the foam at the airport. Concern has grown around Hangar 6, which some have speculated is leaking harmful chemicals based on the testing data around the airport that Friends of Merrymeeting Bay has collected over the years. The sewage that flows out of Hangar 6, which is not treated for PFAS, ultimately flows into the #AndroscogginRiver."

Hey folks!
Question:
If I have a bunch of those tiny holes due to knicks from zipper teeth / belts in t-shirts, what’s my best course of action?
I am not necessarily opposed to visible mending but would love some invisible/stealth sewing tips
TLDR:
Please give me search terms - fabric shopping online - for thinnest, lightest weight, but still has some stretch fabric. Thank you
Am #Doll crafting - specifically #sewing clothes for 11inch fashion retail dolls. barbie, rainbow High, Monster High etc

I shop online - I know not ideal - what terms should I look for to find the thinnest, lightest weight , but still has some stretch fabrics?

Sewers of Caesar Augusta
Got up a first draft of a #map capturing the state of #water closet introduction in #UK towns and cities in 1876. Lots more to do, including factoring in #population size. But the #data were very dirty and have required lots of cleaning to get them even to the point where they can be mapped at all. I’m fascinated by the distribution nevertheless. #Victorian #Sewers #Sewerage #River #Pollution
'For years this has been described by water companies and politicians as a problem of “Victorian” sewers.' 'In fact, modern sewers are the problem. Very little of the British sewer system – less than 1 per cent, in some areas – is Victorian, and it is not the Victorian sections that are responsible for the most spills.'
