Loretto, Tennessee – October 29, 2026 -- Over-dosing disinfectant wastes chemicals, accelerates equipment wear and can create regulated byproducts, according to Justin McGee of Southeastern Tank, who argues that water treatment operators should manage dosing by precision rather than volume.

Over-dosing creates regulated byproducts and equipment wear

McGee told HelloNation that adding more disinfectant does not automatically improve safety. Excess dosing can form trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids, compounds regulated because of potential health risks. Chemicals added in excess must later be neutralized or flushed from the system, which raises energy and maintenance costs.

CINCINNATI – – October 29, 2026 -- FirstLight Home Care has passed 300 locations across the United States and sent President and CEO Glee McAnanly on a cross-country RV tour to visit its franchise owners, their teams and caregivers.

Global – October 29, 2026 -- OX has launched Agent Activity in early access, giving security teams step-by-step runtime visibility into AI agent sessions across its OX.VibeSec and OX.Cloud platforms, with more than 100 built-in guardrail policies.

Agent Activity traces each session from prompt to data access

For every agent session, security teams can follow the full chain of actions from start to finish. The tool records prompts and responses, the MCP servers and tools the agent called and in what order, and whether the agent held read or write access. That distinction separates an agent that views a ticket from one that modifies it, or one that reads Slack from one that posts to it.

It also flags when an agent interacts with PII, secrets, tokens, or financial data, and when that data risks leaving where it belongs.
