should change. the deadline to ban sales of new gas-powered cars is looming though. the goal is for the band to start in 2035 researchers. say attention has to be paid to the electric grid on that if a third of homes in a neighborhood have electric vehicles and they all charge their cars at 11pm. the local grid could become unstable a surprise for us. you know that this daytime charging can can make a significant difference but charging vehicles during the day from work or other shared charging infrastructures could help by 2035. the electric grid will be able to tap into more solar power meaning in the running an early afternoon. there's additional energy and what happens in those times of the days that you have additional power that you know could be curtailed because there was no use for it but one main problem with that now is the lack of financial incentive electricity rates are cheaper in the evening hours. the authors behind the study say policy makers need to take action to bring on better rates during the day that also means making that type of charging accessible not everybody has access to a charger in the workplace. there is folks who have small businesses in and low and middle income communities that may not

have a charger that they could use for their business and that would be a date time charger. i reached out to the california energy commission who helped fund the study to find out what work is being done to bring on rates that would encourage people to charge during the daytime. they said in part state agencies are coordinating to develop and deploy rates programs and technologies that better align ev charging with grit conditions for roger gopal's part. he's encouraged that by the time 2035. rolls around the incentives will be there. i'm very positive zack that we are in a very good trajectory and things are lining up well and the south bay zach fuentes abc 7 news a new study out finds that so-called forever chemicals can be found in school uniforms and even our water supply assembly member filting says people really need to understand the danger of pfas. really need to get it out of our clothing out of the various products all around that we really don't don't need it and frankly. the biggest issue is the contamination of our water system at a time when we're in

equinox. that means it's one of the days where we lose the most amount of sunshine now for the next couple of weeks. we're losing two minutes and 24 seconds of sunshine every single day. you're gonna notice if you haven't already those evenings are getting in shorter and shorter supplies sunshine to do outdoor activities now, of course with the autumnal equinox here in the bay area, we're gonna be warmer. we got a little heatwave saturday sunday and monday and extended period of dry weather that should likely last through the end of the month. so there's the low that brought us the rain. it's moving away dry air firmly entrenched over us and it'll stay here for a couple of days and that's why you're having a hard time finding any clouds on the visible satellite and that's why these temperatures everywhere except for right along the coast are up to 11 degrees warmer than this time yesterday, but there's still very comfortable from 70 in san francisco to about 84 in fairfield most of us in the mid 70s to low 80s right now winds are gonna pick up a little bit. you probably have noticed that places like hey, we're where they're gusting to 20 right now and sfo at 21 and they'll be

fire season quickly approaching a new study from stanford is revealing more about the

staggering toll that wildfires are taking on public health abc 7 news meteorologist mike nico rejoining us with details mike. yeah. you remember those orange skies we've had well, they may be a little more dangerous than what we originally thought. this study looks specifically at the dangerous health effects of wildfire smoke and just how many people are now being affected. watching the smoky air pour into bay area cities the potential health risk from increasing intense wildfires seems obvious, but now a teaching from steve. he says the team used in artificial intelligence model to examine the spread of a particularly dangerous form of smoke pollution. they found that 10 years ago. the number of people living in areas experiencing at least one day per year of unhealthy air was in the hundreds of thousands now roughly a decade later. that number has swelled to millions what we found was that the number of people exposed to east one of those days a bad day or a really bad day it gone up just just massively again their measurement centered on a

specific type of smoke particle pollution known to lodge deep in the lungs and impact the bloodstream one of the really difficult things to study is is what happens when people are as you said like exposed, you know early on in their life and then keep being exposed. and so what is that cumulatively do to a person she believes the study coupled with emerging data could help drive decisions about safety precautions such as masking smoke filtration and shelter in place days professor burke also believes a study could influence strategy decisions, like prescribed burns deliberately thinning brush and fuel from forests to lessen the frequency and intensity of the worst wildfires. that's something we absolutely need to do. we need to scale it up. it's gonna be hard. it's gonna be expensive. we have millions of acres that need to be treated, but it's something we can do while the potential public health threat is staggering. the stanford team also believes a study can be a call for action perhaps driving policy decisions to help combat the explosive

fire seasons to come. and just to put this all in perspective the study found the number of people experiencing unhealthy air in their neighborhood increased 27 times during the last decade. wow, just showing that we got to take some action if we expect anything to get better. thank you, mike. well new details out today about covid and a new study is showing where the virus is stored some of the changing demographics and where we stand right now. we've got some answers with abc 7 news contributor

headquarters on webster street in oakland. it's continued that conversation now with dr. alok patel who is joining us doc. what do you think about masks on bart? is this something that should end that if you were getting on a bar train, let's say in five minutes. would you wear a mask? elderly be completely honest. i still would be wearing a mask, but i want to stress that that is an individual risk assessment also kind of depends on how crowded the bart is but i think what's important is that we're paying attention to the community level. we're actually following those guidelines and if it goes below a certain metric, then it is fair to lift that mandate in the same way. la county is lifting mandates and they've been listed across the country, but this doesn't take away from the fact that individuals can still be at risk, especially if they're a vulnerable so lifting a mandate does not necessarily mean that we're completely out of the woods when it comes people becoming severely ill. yeah, and the message can change depending on the situation and along those lines president. biden said the pandemic is over yet. we still have hundreds of people dying every day from covid the demographics those seem to be changing.

they do larry and so, you know to address the first point you made i think what's important for people to understand is saying that a pandemic is now endemic does not indicate that there is less disease out there. malaria is endemic and over 600,000. people die every single year a pandemic that definition really has to come down to uncontrolled spread and not being able to predict with the virus is gonna do no one can really predict what covid-19 will do this winter. this is why a lot of public health experts are saying hey hold the press don't yet call it endemic now regarding the demographic changing. there's some new data out there from kaiser especially california, which shows us some things that we already did know that the elderly above the age of 75 high risk those that aren't like medical conditions still high risk including those are who are on vaccinated but what's interesting is that white americans their death rates a little higher than before compared to other populations such as brown and black communities and some people theorize is because these communities are still paying attention to regulations and still wearing masks and staying home when they're sick. so time will play out to see how

we fare this fall and winter. there's a study out from stanford. they found that covid can be found in fat cells. so where would it normally be? and why is this particular finding problematic? where i'm gonna distill this down so we don't get into a biochemistry ted talk but simply put for the last two and a half years. the assumption has been that sars go to the virus is gonna enter cell to have a very specific receptor called ace2 receptor found in your nose your trachea your lungs and other parts. the body fat cells don't have this receptor, but with these researchers found is that fat cells could absolutely carry sars cove to the virus that causes covid-19 and release inflammatory markers. why does this matter for two important reasons number one a lot of americans have excess fat cells without two thirds of americans being overweight and almost four out of 10 americans being obese and if you look at fat in our body, there's something called visceral fat, which is especially dangerous because this fat lines are organs including our heart. so you take covid-19 bad cells

surrounding our heart inflammatory markers. this potentially could be a reason why so many people have gone to sick by obesity is a risk factor and may give us hints about the cause of long covid. i was just gonna ask you about long covid there. does this indicate in way that the virus has gotten smarter to adapt to let's say, okay. well, you know, i can't spread over here, but i can go after the fat cells now and then just morph into that. that would that's a scary reality but viruses can mutate and they can adapt to be better at infecting us, but it's too early to say if this is a new a new feature of starscope too or this is something that's been able to do all along because this does represent a novel early finding but larry could provide some hints as we just mentioned about long cove to long covid and where what the cause is, but also what the researchers would suggesting is this may give us a reason to find new treatments because some previous treatments target those old receptors ace too that we've known about such as some of those antibodies. this may be a different area now that we need to explore if we're

trying to target star's code to in fat cells. well, i would certainly be the upside if if it opened the door to new treatments dr. patel is always thanks so much for your time. thank you, larry. i promise i'll dress more professional next time. you look cool. that's good. all right. thanks, doc. hello, patel. always cool. well, this is not cool if you're eating right now roaches. you can be the newest thing domesticated by humans

sports. yeah. oh and i'm always with the little tack a proposal in california would make the work week 32 hours that's been put on hold almost since you seem to have many thoughts on this year. well, it's just you get to the weekend and by the time you get everything done that you need to do for the next week. you've had no time to recharge. so think if you have that extra day to get that recharge, and then you're even better at your job when you go to work. was also thinking about all the people that volunteers so much time on the weekend to great causes. instead of sitting at home and being a slug on the couch maybe watching football or doing whatever but maybe that's another thing that could actually increase is volunteerism if we only had to work four days a week. yeah. yeah, did i sell that? well, sounds like you to my living room on this during the during the break you said you wanted six days a week. yeah, not a chance that i volunteers tribute for 40 days a week and why is it always the uk

that gets to do these studies here just about in san francisco. yeah. we don't do that. of course not well now that new research that's trying to turn cockroaches into human helpers if you are eating something just look away researchers in japan don't change the channel though. they've mounted tiny electronic backpacks on a roaches. these are giant roaches alma the tech can control their movement. searchers hope that technology will help find survivors during natural disasters since the roaches would be able to get into really tight spaces there, huh? peter is not going to go i never thought i feel sorry on the cockroach. i do feel a little bad for it. i know yeah, like he's been enslaved. yeah, i don't know if i want the roach to find me though. imagine an army of roaches like crawling on you. you know the rubble right? it's worth the bottom of underneath all the rubble you'd be begging for one of those roaches. oh, no, what i'm wondering is can we make the little electronic thing a little bigger and would it work on my kids

just kind of you know size of a backpack, maybe totally so i want to subtle device new research seems to validate what many pregnant people have experienced suggesting fetuses react to the food that their mothers eat researchers again, we're back in england here say ultrasound images reveal that babies tend to smile when exposed to carrots and show what's described as a crying face when exposed it's okay. i'm always frowning it's believed they can experience the flavor by inhaling or swallowing amniotic fluid. i'mma did you have this with your daughter? you notice this of causing effect? no. i didn't have that many of those like the 3d or whatever. i can't even remember what it's called. it's been so long, but i know i've actually seen this play out because with my oldest daughter my wife would eat what's called natto? it's fermented soybean. it's an acquired taste the older

daughter. she loves it the younger one who never had it and you know, my wife was not eating it when she was pregnant with a young one can't stand it. so it's i mean just like interesting. yeah sure. it's i swear one of my kids always kicked my wife when she ate a certain food. just stuck that leg right up in her rib and just sugar. yeah, we're stop it. yeah, thank you saying stop it. yeah. how about this ike sandwiches open up first restaurant in san francisco back in 2007, and they are expanding once again, so earlier this month. i opened its newest restaurant right here in the bay area in pleasanton. they're closing in now on a hundred restaurants and they have locations from the bay area all the way down to florida at a time when many restaurants are struggling to recover from the pandemic. this is certainly some good news. yeah, and this happens to be tasty thursday. so hey, we're in luck. we got sandwiches. we got ike himself here ike hey. thank you for joining.
