#GreenOil and Simon Nash news: "Green Oil will publish all supply chains and manufacturing processes"
"I hereby celebrate the end of PTFE products in the UK bike industry. Even Muc-off and GT-85 have phased out PTFE, a forever chemical (Because of our work criticising them.)"
"I have a new role as Environmental and Political Commentator on GB News" -
And if I am concerned, are there any alternatives? I know there are non-stick hydrophobic ceramic coatings available for frying pans etc, but a compatible breadpan and paddle?
Side note, kids clothes at major UK retailers, including and particularly school uniform, are still sometimes 'teflon coated'. Was shocked when I came across this and obviously avoided.

(marvy. yet another potential source for #PTFE contamination in a new 'stretchable fabric'?)
"…researchers in 2D semiconductors tend not to engage with #ionomer chemistry, UCLA's energy and 2D optoelectronics subgroup constantly exchange ideas about materials processing.
That overlap sparked the idea of combining two "common" materials from different worlds—#Nafion and MoS2—and the unexpected synergy made the breakthrough possible."

#SEB et #Tefal visés par une plainte d’ #ONG pour «pratiques commerciales trompeuses» sur leurs poêles en #teflon «sûres»
Des associations environnementales accusent le groupe SEB et sa filiale Tefal de publicité mensongère. Elles dénoncent l’omission des risques liés au #PTFE dans les poêles antiadhésives. https://www.leparisien.fr/economie/consommation/seb-et-tefal-vises-par-une-plainte-dong-pour-pratiques-commerciales-trompeuses-sur-leurs-poeles-en-teflon-sures-10-07-2025-C5BZZKVLL5ANTE27PSL7DJYIX4.php

Stop using #teflon products.
You #cyclists: avoid all #PTFE lubricants. Get Green Oil instead.
It's the most abundant micro plastic now in your #gonads.https://www.green-oil.net/index.html
Detectan varios tipos de microplásticos en el semen y en los ovarios: el más abundante es el teflón

A question for the #3dprinting and #maker crowd:
#PTFE tubes are _expensive_! Where do you source cheap & good quality ones? To be clear, for 1.75mm filament.
Any reliable #Aliexpress or anything?

'This is our best option:' #Maine farmers turn to #SolarEnergy due to #contaminated fields
Story by Brad Rogers
7/25/2024ARUNDEL (WGME) – "#PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, have been nothing short of disastrous for hundreds of #Mainefarmers.
"It's ruined their land, made their cattle, milk and eggs unsafe to eat and left many farmers with serious health problems.
"'This farm has been in our family since 1914,' #FredStone, whose #Arundel farm was contaminated with PFAS, said.
"Stone was a third-generation dairy farmer in Arundel until forever chemicals were discovered in his fields, #WellWater, cows and milk.
"The pollution came from spreading #wastewater #sludge on his farm after the state told him it was safe.
"#MaineDEP has identified more than 500 sites where sludge was applied to farmland as #fertilizer.
"In 2017, Stone was the first farmer in the state to have his dairy farm and his pasture shut down due to #PFAScontamination.
"To make up for it, the state offered to buy his farm, but he refused to walk away.
"'We’re not in the farm selling or land selling business,' Stone said. 'Given what options we had left, that brought us to the solar thing.'
"He's been working with #WaldenRenewables to build a solar array on 100 acres of his contaminated farm.
"'It's their best alternative, but for some of these landowners, it's hard to kind of accept the change that they're facing,' Dale Knapp of Walden Renewables said. 'This is an injection of revenue that they desperately need.'
"This week, the Maine Public Utilities Commission [#MainePUC] approved new rules, paving the way for solar development on PFAS-polluted farms.
"'The Act provides that the commission must give a primary preference to projects that are located on contaminated lands,' Carrie Gilbert of the Maine PUC Commission said.
"'This is our best option,' Stone said. 'So reluctantly, very reluctantly I guess, that’s what we ended up having to do.'
"Stone plans to sign a 30-year lease for the solar array.
"After that, his farm may still be contaminated with forever chemicals, but 30 years is a long time for someone to come up with a solution.
"'That might mean that generational farm just goes on pause,' Knapp said. 'And the next generation may have the opportunity to return it to being a family farm someday.'
"'I’m very bitter,' Stone said. 'This is not the way we wanted to see this go. Yeah, I would love to see it continue on as a farm of some kind but damn the state of Maine for putting me in this position.'"

"He's been working with #WaldenRenewables to build a solar array on 100 acres of his contaminated farm.
"'It's their best alternative, but for some of these landowners, it's hard to kind of accept the change that they're facing,' Dale Knapp of Walden Renewables said. 'This is an injection of revenue that they desperately need.'
"This week, the Maine Public Utilities Commission [#MainePUC] approved new rules, paving the way for solar development on PFAS-polluted farms.
"'The Act provides that the commission must give a primary preference to projects that are located on contaminated lands,' Carrie Gilbert of the Maine PUC Commission said.
"'This is our best option,' Stone said. 'So reluctantly, very reluctantly I guess, that’s what we ended up having to do.'
"Stone plans to sign a 30-year lease for the solar array.
"After that, his farm may still be contaminated with forever chemicals, but 30 years is a long time for someone to come up with a solution.
"'That might mean that generational farm just goes on pause,' Knapp said. 'And the next generation may have the opportunity to return it to being a family farm someday.'
"'I’m very bitter,' Stone said. 'This is not the way we wanted to see this go. Yeah, I would love to see it continue on as a farm of some kind but damn the state of Maine for putting me in this position.'"
