In Pennsylvania, when locals learned fracking & oil drilling waste, full of toxic chemicals & radioactive matter, was being spread on their roads to prevent ice, & this had poisoned local waterways & wildlife, they ran a successful campaign to get this banned.🧵 1/6

Curious about the impacts and policy of #Fgases in heating and cooling systems? This ZeroPM webinar explains why most #Fgases are #PFAS, their concern regarding global warming and global #TFA accumulation, policy action, as well as alternative #Fgas free technology!

Sidsel Dykjaer from @chemsec talked about navigating market challenges: transitioning away from harmful PM Substances ZeroPM Floris Naus from RIVM spoke on dealing with PM(T) substances in the circular economy: diagnosis, solutions and co-created strategies PROMISCES

In this piece in C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) other scientists and I were asked about the issue of #pharmaceuticals that are #PFAS, and how we have to start the conversation about innovation towards mineralizable substitutes that could help phase these (and other) persistent pharmaceuticals out.

We are all in the same boat because we all have to drink from the same water. Therefore, we must solve this challenge of #PFAS and #PMT substances together. At the @ZeroPM workshop in Dessau we will discuss how to prioritize substances needing action. youtu.be/frxCJdcqLlk

📚ZeroPM Regulatory Watch Update October 2024 Headlines: - #NAMS - Call for evidence on the Commission Roadmap to phase out animal testing #PFHexA - now restricted in the EU #PMT - data needed on alkoxysilyl carbamates and feedback on choline + more zeropm.eu/regulatory-wat…

🧩#ZeroPMPieces #24 Maxim Carlier, a Doctoral Researcher at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, presents how he embarked on creating in vitro hazard profiles for persistent, mobile substances, #triazoles, #triazines and #PFAS youtu.be/Ccbb3963KZk

Proud to be one of the signatories of this letter to  urge the UK government to match the EU’s approach to regulating PFAS, including a broad grouping approach based on their extreme persistence.

World wars were started by Nationalism and Nationalists, both WWI & WWII. I find it a naive history interpretation that supporting a Nationalist candidate in the US who supports a global return to WWII era Nationalists (Netanyahu, Putin, etc.) can prevent WWIII.

#TFA is a global threat. In Environmental Science & Technology Journals we argue that its unprecedent rise to be the most dominant #PFAS in water, blood and plants, along with what we don't know about chronic impacts, require #precaution and #innovation for lowering emissions. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

What biochars make the best #PFAS sorbent? Going further with the concept of making a #PFAS sorbent out of #PFAS contaminated organic waste, we found #Sludge or #Biosolid based biochars outperformed wood-derived #biochars. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In this ES&T perspective, Hans Peter Arp discusses the potential long-term, irreversible impacts from the rapidly increasing #emissions of #TriFluoroaceticAcid and calls for immediate action to reduce emissions of TFA and its precursors. #OpenAccess: go.acs.org/byr

📚ZeroPM Regulatory Watch Update November 2024 Headlines: - DGENV Commissioner Jessika Roswell commits to #REACH revision - Member states want swift #REACH revision & #PFAS restriction - Revised #CLP & #UWWTD adopted - European Chemicals Agency - ECHA 🇪🇺 hosts #CLP webinar +more zeropm.eu/regulatory-wat…

We showed environmental chemist Hans Peter Arp footage of plastic recycling plants in Malaysia where society's poorest people work with no protective equipment, & asked what sort of chemicals they might be exposed to.

Why are #TFA and other #PFAS planetary boundary threat? In a new #ZeroPM video, Ian Cousins, Hans Peter Arp and Emma Palm are interviewed by Sarah Hale to discuss their analysis on this issue. youtu.be/NyShFTVyu2o #planetaryboundaries
