Plastic-Associated Chemicals: Late Lessons from Early Equilibrium Partitioning Science

In this viewpoint we argue why different fields looking at the hazard and risks of plastic associated chemicals can and should unit using a common, existing framework.

#PMT #vPvM #PFAS

Many byproducts of PFAS "destruction" methods are other, smaller #PFAS, with unknown toxicity.

In this ES&T Viewpoint led by Sanne Smith we present the need & methods for tracking PFAS destruction methods to mineralisation and not other PFAS.

HEADPHONES ON! Stripes have illustrated the #climate crises, #biodiversity crises and recently the chemical #pollution crises, - with sound!

The heartbeat tracks time, the clicking noise growth in chemicals, the chords the patent numbers, while key events have their own sound.
