As global demand for electric vehicles rises, so does a hidden risk. Some major chemical suppliers behind lithium-ion batteries stand accused of misleading regulators, hiding information & contaminating communities while making similar, related products.🧵buff.ly/3S2RGAi

The last paper of my PhD thesis is now published Environmental Science & Technology Journals 🎉 We applied a combination of analytical techniques to select key-suspects and found that fluorinated pharmaceuticals can contribute significantly to extractable organic fluorine in human serum pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

New PERFORCE3_ITN paper just published in Archives of Toxicology entitled "In vitro screening of understudied PFAS with a focus on lipid metabolism disruption" by Lackson Kashobwe et al. 🥳🎉👏 doi.org/10.1007/s00204…

⚡️ We have shortlisted 10 cross-border investigative projects for the #IJ4EU Impact Award 2024, which celebrates the best investigative journalism carried out by teams collaborating across European borders. Thread with nominees ⬇️

Check out the latest PERFORCE3_ITN research by Dudášová et al just published in Anal Bioanal Chem! "An automated and high-throughput data processing workflow for PFAS identification in biota by direct infusion ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry” doi.org/10.1007/s00216…

How to ensure that products in the future will be compliant with the proposed, broad #PFAS restriction under REACH? This new Environmental Science & Technology Journals Viewpoint presents a workflow developed by scientists and regulators across many countries! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

This ES&T perspective proposes a three-step workflow that could be implemented to assess compliance testing of emerging international classwide restrictions on #PFAS under REACH. #ForeverChemicals Jonathan Benskin Department of Environmental Science at Sthlm Uni Stockholm University #OpenAccess: go.acs.org/axn

Thousands of environmental pollutants are being spread in the environment through water. The cleanup task is immense. At the ZeroPM workshop in Dessau we will talk about which #PMT substances should be prioritized. youtu.be/frxCJdcqLlk

We are all in the same boat because we all have to drink from the same water. Therefore, we must solve this challenge of #PFAS and #PMT substances together. At the @ZeroPM workshop in Dessau we will discuss how to prioritize substances needing action. youtu.be/frxCJdcqLlk

Calling recent PHD grads and those close to defending... We are hiring a Post-doc with an "open research focus". Write your own 2-year project proposal and submit it before November 3! su.se/english/about-…

Today, I joined over 50 scientific experts to ask the UK Government to take a more ambitious approach to regulating #PFAS - the forever chemicals - than the previous government. Read the letter here ➡️  independent.co.uk/climate-change…

PFAS have contaminated every corner of the planet, and been found in people, drinking water, animals, and food ⚠️. I’m pleased to sign a letter to the UK Government urging it to take an ambitious approach to regulating these chemicals. Read it here ➡️ independent.co.uk/climate-change…

"...I find it deeply disturbing that the UK continues to trail behind the rest of Europe in addressing the PFAS crisis" Ian Cousins & colleagues delivered a letter to UK ministers urging them to strengthen #PFAS regulation. Get the full story & letter👉tinyurl.com/mvnpvjxa

In a new paper in Environmental Science & Technology Journals we voice our concerns about the increasing global concentrations TFA. We should control emissions of TFA going forward because if do exceed some known (or unknown) effects threshold in the future we cannot reverse the problem. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

#TFA is a global threat. In Environmental Science & Technology Journals we argue that its unprecedent rise to be the most dominant #PFAS in water, blood and plants, along with what we don't know about chronic impacts, require #precaution and #innovation for lowering emissions. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

BREAKING! MP Munira Wilson 🇺🇦 has just introduced a PFAS forever chemical bill that would set out legal limits for toxic PFAS in water & ramp up regulation on their production. We've been falling so far behind the EU and US. It's time to catch up!

In this ES&T perspective, Stockholm University Department of Environmental Science at Sthlm Uni suggests that successful substitution of #PFAS requires balancing #battery performance with the environmental effects of #HazardousMaterials & economic considerations.

.Ian Cousins and Jonathan Benskin from Department of Environmental Science at Sthlm Uni Stockholm University developed and validated a solid-phase extraction procedure for EOF determination in #DrinkingWater with improved #TriFluoroaceticAcid recovery. #PFAS #OpenAccess in ACS ES&T Water: go.acs.org/c5G

Defra UK has responded to a coalition of scientists, including Prof. Ian Cousins, calling for stricter regulation of #PFAS . The response outlines initiatives on regulation, research, and collaboration, but not without raising some concerns. More 👉 shorturl.at/4DtcM

Very pleased to announce the publication of 'An Overview of Potential Alternatives for the Multiple Uses of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances' in Environmental Science & Technology Journals. The work was led by Romain Figuière with important contributions by Luc Mias and Eleni Savvidou. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
