This is an important summary on #PFAS, powerful greenhouse gas contributors! We must shut off the industry spigot of forever chemicals that harm the atmosphere & our health. Please read our study on cancer in a PFAS exposed community here: doi.org/10.1177/117863022210… @BenLocwin
Read our new @EnvSciTech Viewpoint, "Stories of Global Chemical Pollution: Will We Ever Understand Environmental Persistence?" In light of the response to our "PFAS in rain" paper, we wanted to initiate a discussion about the basic problem we addressed. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

I did read her recent book, thanks. People who think science works by vote shouldn't be in science and they shouldn't be science writers either.

How sciency is the science for opening schools? So sciency that @sciencemagazine just wrote:
"There is now an evidence base on which to make decisions, and school closure should be undertaken with trepidation." (Translation: OPEN SCHOOLS NOW!)
Science!

Spread facts, not germs! We're reminded by @BenLocwin via @upstream_org that "surface transmission hasn’t been a “thing"" and there's a better way to protect public health, businesses AND our planet 🙌

Be sure to read the last sentence of this article. It's all about the money.
Where is the medical waste going?
Somewhere.

Great piece by @BenLocwin on how to safely reopen workplaces (hint, it does not rely on cleaning surfaces or using single-use disposables). #refusesingleuse #plasticpollution @enckj seacoastonline.com/lifestyle…

New Hampshire is back on board with reusable bags ok at businesses- how about reenforcing the bag ban, NY? @NYGovCuomo @NYCMayor
We've gotten the state on board!

Great article on plastic use spike due to #COVID19. The pandemic is hitting the US hard but we need to keep our eye on climate change & preventing pollution of our water- these won't be solved with a vaccine. @NHSafeWaterA #nhpolitics .@LCV .@NHSierraClub .@Waterkeeper .@NHDems
Coronavirus pandemic drives spike in #plasticpollution. Increasing reuse requires policy enforcement and activism.

A new study by our researchers finds that the three common disposal options for getting rid of #PFAS don't eliminate these #ForeverChemicals but return them or their byproducts back into the environment.
It's just another step in the contamination cycle.bit.ly/32nIkGy

We are thrilled to have the support of @laoneill111 for #ContactlessCoffee from them school of Biochemistry and Immunology in @tcddublin. Hopefully we will start to see more cafes onboard. @newstalk @CitytoSea_ @q102 @BenLocwin @CRNIreland @SCA_Ireland
