"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"

#toxics hide behind regulations strongly influenced by industry

I continue to be amazed at the advances in toxicology, and all of the unexpected and unintended health and environmental impacts.

And bewildered at the opposition to the #precautionaryprinciple . Although, I guess, we have private profits at risk if we apply that, and, hey, the costs are socialized (one way or another)

Conservationists Push EPA to Add 1,000+ Pollutants to 'Outdated' List of Toxic Chemicals #toxics #PFAS #atrazine

👉 We should know Commission’s thinking & how unaccountable RSB could be influencing it.

We need:
➡️ Robust & ambitious REACH proposal published now
➡️ Full transparency of #BetterRegulation process now, followed by major overhaul of deregulatory thinking behind it
➡️ Lobby firewall to protect decision-making from #Toxics industry

Toxic chemicals are being sprayed over re-growing forests across Canada. Logging companies are using glyphosate to kill everything but their cash crops, decimating #biodiversity & putting communities at risk. #stopthespray #pesticides #toxics #biodiversity #forests

Glyphosate: Controversial loggi

Hello humans of the #Mastoverse :) By way of introduction, I spend most of my waking hours exploring how to regulate #plastic in order to reduce harm to ecosystem + human health, environmental injustice and #climate chaos.

#ScienceTwitter was a great resource but #ScienceMastodon could be much greater (no algorithms!). Let's grow this community!
