Millipedes and Centipedes
Millipedes and Centipedes (B 1088) Millipedes and centipedes do not carry diseases that affect people, animals or plants. Millipedes do occasionally damage seedlings by feeding on stems and leaves, and may enter homes in large numbers during periods of migration and become a considerable nuisance. They do not cause damage inside the home, although they may leave a stain if they are crushed. Centipedes, which have poison glands and can bite, pose an occasional threat to humans.
Commercial Watermelon Production (B 996) Watermelon is a warm-season crop related to cantaloupe, squash, cucumber and pumpkin. Watermelons can be grown on any well-drained soil throughout Georgia but are particularly well adapted to the Coastal Plain soils of South Georgia. Watermelons will continue to be an important part of vegetable production in the state. Increases in average yield per acre will continue as more growers adopt plastic mulch, intensive management and new hybrid varieties.
PFAS: Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (TP 119) Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of more than 9,000 manmade synthetic chemicals that have been in use worldwide since 1940, primarily in industry and numerous commercial and consumer products. The widespread use of PFAS for the past several decades has raised concerns due to their persistence, bioaccumulative nature, and potential adverse health effects. On April 10, 2024, the US EPA announced the final National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for PFAS, setting limits for five individual PFAS. Since then, UGA Extension specialists and agents have received numerous inquiries from diverse groups of citizens and organizations seeking information about PFAS, their environmental and human health consequences, and treatment systems for removal or reduction of PFAS from drinking water. This publication accumulates information about the background, uses, and environmental and human health consequences of PFAS chemicals. It also discussed the EPA's primary drinking water regulation standards for various PFAS chemicals and appropriate water treatment systems for removal or reduction of these chemicals from drinking water. Testing options and PFAS monitoring efforts by the Georgia EPD are included, along with references to important sources for further learning on this topic.
