The World Health Organization is launching a review after a study showed elevated levels of plastic in bottled water.

The World Health Organization now wants to study what the human health risks are for consuming micro plastics in water.

Federal officials announced a tentative plan Friday to relocate 20-30 grey wolves to Isle Royale National Park in Michigan over three years to replenish a population that has nearly died out because of inbreeding and disease.
The National Park Service said it would make a final decision after giving the public a month to react to its proposal. The wolves have helped to maintain the ecosystem by culling a moose herd that otherwise would overeat the island’s vegetation.
An environmental impact statement released Friday estimates the wolf restoration price at nearly $2 million over 20 years.
