🧽 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.

One of the comments lodged in my mind from 50-some years ago was that the toxicology studies we were basing product approvals on failed to consider interactions between multiple substances - and apparently not much has been done in that area

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.

Watched a hybrid doco "A Savana e a Montanha", a Portuguese movie abt how villagers in Covas do Barroso, a northern Portuguese community, unite 2stop a British company,Savanna Resources, from exploiting lithium in the region which was deemed a World Agric Heritage by the Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN in 2018. Very good storytelling with the villagers reenacting parts of the story and also funny.

"Bayer Considers Stopping Production of Roundup
Due to the costly legal disputes, crop protection company Bayer is reportedly considering ceasing the production and sale of products based on the active ingredient glyphosate. One example is the controversial herbicide Roundup."
Very good news. I hope they finally stop but continue to be sued

Protecting and restoring biodiversity requires comprehensive and integrated approaches. Key strategies include integrating genetic diversity into conservation efforts, employing practical monitoring and assessment techniques, addressing chemical pollution through ecotoxicological studies and modelling, managing invasive alien species, and leveraging remote sensing technologies.

"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"

Sub headline reads “This is not normal.”Funny, as I read the article it appears this is SOP, normalized by a complete failure to enforce existing regulations and a complete failure to update regulations to address changing manufacturing processes.
Why are so many people happy to poison children, the environment, themselves just so the very wealthy can pocket more money?
