  1. This is more than a little unsettling, esp since "levels are especially alarming because children commonly eat fruits like grapes and strawberries, and children are most at risk from the chemicals’ toxic effects,"

    But I'm sure the #PartyOfLife wouldn't support policies that hurt children, would they??

    Toxic Pfas residue identified on 37% of California produce, new analysis finds

  6. And with the destruction of the #EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD), the lucky US residents will have the benefit of relying on toxicology research conducted or funded by the companies who have a vested interest in selling that product. You know, the people that assured us #PFAS are nontoxic, that medicines like VIoxx were safe, that smoking does not cause cancer and heart disease, that increasing atmospheric CO2 is a good thing.

  8. NSW Building Commission's Inaction: A Disgrace
    Despite issuing 208 rectification orders to developers for serious building defects, the NSW Building Commission has failed to fine a single non-compliant developer. Over 60% of these orders remain unfulfilled, leaving residents in unsafe conditions. One resident likened the Commission's defect order to "a sunroof on a submarine."
    This is not just negligence—it's a betrayal of public trust. When regulators don't enforce the law, they embolden rogue developers and leave homeowners vulnerable.

  10. It sort of bewilders me that companies are releasing products based on these materials without having asked and answered basic questions - certainly issues identified with conventional plastics offered at least a partial roadmap of specific things to consider (nano/microparticle, environmental fate in various environments, impact of metabolites, behavior in digestive systems, etc.) And I see too many products preying on consumers, capitalizing on confusion of "biodegradable" vs "compostable" - in fact, I fear many making the consumer products from these materials don't fully understand the issues.

    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?
