🧽 Ah, the carpeted kingdom of Georgia - where the rivers flow with more chemicals than water! 💦 Is there a better way to define progress than by poisoning your water supply for stain-free floors? Bravo, America, truly a legacy worthy of its own cleanup reality show. 📺🙄

A crackdown on 'forever chemicals' expands ahead of an EU rules overhaul.
As the EU prepares a broader reform of its chemical legislation, the European Chemicals Agency has updated its proposal to restrict “forever chemicals,” adding new sectors to the scope of its planned ban.

And just 30 years ago, #PFAS were generally viewed as safe. Of course, it appears the manufacturers knew otherwise (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PFAS), but hey, it made a good profit. Yet another case of privatizing profits and socializing risks.

I've been in meetings where #ACC "experts" testified "truthpartly" - but not "truthfully" - about chemical hazards - referencing old tests of health impacts (1970s/80s knowledge) while ignoring the mass of robust data developed in the late 90s and 2000s. This is another repeat performance for #ACC & #AmericanPetroleumInstitute, leveraging the duplicitous behavior of the tobacco industry, so they can continue to sell hazardous products, or products that create hazards when used as intended.

"Not even the most protected places are free from the impacts of the extensive use of agrichemicals in Brazil, which is the largest consumer of chemical inputs for agricultural use in the world. A study involving researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) identified the presence of pesticides in sediment samples from six lakes and untouched mountain wetlands in two Brazilian national parks"

It strikes me that many regulatory regimes are still not asking the right questions about adverse impacts - and we keep finding problems like this.

"Ashley Furniture spokespeople said the company follows all laws and regulations for furniture manufacturing."
This is a reminder that the "laws and regulations" just define the worst you can do without criminal or civil penalties.
The laws and regulations do not mean that it is safe. Just that the company cannot be held accountable for their actions if they follow "all laws and regulations"

The #USA Buried #NuclearWaste Abroad. #ClimateChange Could Unearth It
A new report says melting ice sheets and rising seas could disturb waste from US #nuclear projects in #Greenland and the #MarshallIslands
by Anita Hofschneider
Science
Mar 2, 2024 8:00 AM"Ariana Tibon was in college at the University of Hawaii in 2017 when she saw the photo online: a black-and-white picture of a man holding a baby. The caption said: 'Nelson Anjain getting his baby monitored on March 2, 1954, by an AEC RadSafe team member on Rongelap two days after ʻBravo.’
"Tibon had never seen the man before. But she recognized the name as her great-grandfather’s. At the time, he was living on Rongelap in the Marshall Islands when the US conducted #CastleBravo, the largest of 67 nuclear weapon tests there during the Cold War. The tests displaced and sickened #Indigenous people, #poisoned fish, upended #TraditionalFood practices, and caused #cancers and other negative health repercussions that continue to reverberate today.
"A federal report by the Government Accountability Office published last month examines what’s left of that nuclear contamination, not only in the Pacific but also in Greenland and #Spain. The authors conclude that #ClimateChange could disturb nuclear waste left in Greenland and the Marshall Islands. '#RisingSeaLevels could spread contamination in RMI, and conflicting risk assessments cause residents to distrust radiological information from the US Department of Energy,' the report says.
"In Greenland, #ChemicalPollution and #radioactive liquid are frozen in #IceSheets, left over from a #NuclearPowerPlant on a #USMilitary research base where scientists studied the potential to install nuclear missiles. The report didn’t specify how or where nuclear contamination could migrate in the Pacific or Greenland, or what if any health risks that might pose to people living nearby. However, the authors did note that in Greenland, frozen waste could be exposed by 2100.
"'The possibility to influence the environment is there, which could further affect the food chain and further affect the people living in the area as well,' said Hjalmar Dahl, president of #InuitCircumpolarCouncil Greenland. The country is about 90 percent #Inuit. “I think it is important that the Greenland and US governments have to communicate on this worrying issue and prepare what to do about it.'"
