Go Laura Monclús! #PlastChem

We have got a new preprint on chemicals leaching from #plastic food packaging. We show that surprisingly many chemicals and toxicity migrate into food simulants, including endocrine/metabolism disrupting chemicals: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #INC4 #plasticstreaty #PlasticPollution

Making an argument for reigning in vested interests in the global #PlasticsTreaty. Only if we minimize corporate manufacture of doubt on the science will a treaty succeed. #INC4 #PlasticPollution nature.com/articles/d4158…

The latest episode of the Plastisphere has just dropped, and the topic is (drumroll) … #subsidies ! Hosted and produced by the brilliant Anja Krieger, it’s an interview with Andres Naranjo , Dr. Alexandra Harrington and yours truly. Just in time for #INC4 ! podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/pla…

👉 The evidence is clear: To end plastic pollution, we must go upstream to the source. Read the press release ➡️ docs.google.com/document/d/1tF… 📚 Explore our many other resources ➡️ linktr.ee/scientistscoal…

Important piece of science for #INC4 because some still claim there is no link between plastic production and #plasticpollution. This is and absurd claim, so good to have this evidence! #PlasticsTreaty

This! #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty

State of science on chemicals in plastics: our new PlastChem report, eloquently presented by Laura Monclús. See more posters this week #SETACSeville and visit plastchem-project.org to read it all! 😀 SETAC Food Packaging Forum Hans Peter Arp Zhanyun Wang Jane Muncke Mⓐrtin Wⓐgner

Important message to the #SETAC community at large. COI are abundant and growing once policymakers want to address pollution. #SETACSeville

Our very own Laura Monclús presenting our work on the state of the science of plastic chemicals at #SETACSeville. Read the full report and access the database here: plastchem-project.org

Come listen to Christoph Schür's talk on our #multigenerational #microplastics exposure study in #daphnia and links with the #microbiome! Some very exciting work that discusses MP-specific vs particle effects on host-associated microbiomes. Tuesday, Auditorium 1 @ 3 pm! #SETACSeville

One more #PlastChem poster, featuring our awesome evidence map on toxicity of plastics leachates (lots of hard work in there!), is on display today #SETACSeville, poster area 1, 268. See also plastchem-project.org Mⓐrtin Wⓐgner Hans Peter Arp Jane Muncke Zhanyun Wang Utox_Eawag

Good summary of where we are at with the #PlasticsTeaty. Spoiler: not far enough.

Another masterful treasure trove on #plastics history by @rebecca_altman. Read, read, read! „Laying waste to a manufactured item was made possible by cheap plastics, and it was taught (through advertising) to seem conceivable, then acceptable, and eventually unavoidable.“

UN Human Rights Marcos A Orellana Society of Native Nations IPEN: toxics-free Children & Youth Major Group to UNEP EcoWaste Coalition Misión de México en Ginebra Kritika Khanijo Center for International Environmental Law Therese Karlsson, PhD UN Human Rights Partners UN Environment Programme World Health Organization (WHO) Ahead of #SPPCWP #OEWG3, Martin Wagner (Mⓐrtin Wⓐgner) presents how doubt can be manufactured through intimidation, discrediting & targeting scientists, particularly those in early careers. These create an atmosphere of distrust, which the private sector should work hard to rebuild.

Thanks for inviting me to speak to these important matters, including manufacturing doubt on science and conflicts of interests. Big shout out to the organizers, and to IPCP - International Panel on Chemical Pollution and Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty as frontrunners in the debate!
