Have #PMT and #vPvM substance insights to share at #SETACSeville?

Consider the session
3.25 PMT/vPvM Substances: Science-Based Solutions in Times of Pollution Crises

Broad range of presentation topics welcome!

Chairs: @m_mneum @hanspeterarp @ALennquist and Kostas Andreou

[ZeroPM @ZeroPM_H2020]

The @BBC recently interviewed various scientists and experts around the world on ways to tackle the #PFAS problem, including ZeroPM's @IanTCousins and @ALennquist. Read more to find ways researchers are working to remove and prevent #PFAS!

The #PFAS rap battle just won a prize for best Sustainability Communication :-) https://t.co/FtUPnv3Fzb

Good new report by the #EEB. Some of those graphs illustrate painfully well the urgency for forceful action against #PFAS. This ones show that exposure of toddlers exceed recommended limit values in the EU.

[European Environmental Bureau @Green_Europe]

New report on toxic #PFAS☣️

#ForeverChemicals are a growing threat to the environment and #HumanHealth, with #EUcitizens still greatly exposed🚰

Analysis of 20 countries' PFAS limits reveals highly divergent approaches, and offers key recommendations👇🧵

The ZeroPM #webinar "Do you use #PFAS in your #business? The PFAS guide will help you find out" is now available on youtube!

@ALennquist and Jonatan Kleimark from @ChemSec ask explain tools they develop to assist Market Transition away from #PFAS

[ZeroPM @ZeroPM_H2020]

Reminder: See this amazing webinar in two days!

Want a deep-dive into our tools to identify and phaesout PFAS? https://t.co/Lic7U39E2S

#F-gases, who are contributing to the high and increasing amounts of persistent TFA in our waters, can in most cases be replaced. Also for heatpumps. @GlugeJuliane at #FLUOROS2023

[Anna Lennquist @ALennquist]

Why are we talking so much about PFAS and so little about responsibility? @ObergMattias at #Fluros2023 Showing how it has been possible for fluor industry to downplay and hide these risks due to structures in our current structures for regulation and research sice 1960:s.

[Hans Peter Arp @hanspeterarp]

Elated to meet my heroes Gretta Goldenman, ⁦@ALennquist⁩, Xenia Trier and Mark Miller to discuss #PFAS solutions at #FLOUROS2023 in Idstein, Germany. ⁦@ZeroPM_H2020⁩

[Hans Peter Arp @hanspeterarp]

The restaurant conversation at #FLUOROS2023 naturally diverged into looking at the beading behavior of olive oil on the surfaces of everything around us to look for #PFAS. … Then Xenia Trier went to the kitchen to grab a non-stick pan. w Lisa Skedung ⁦@ALennquist⁩ #legend

[Anna Lennquist @ALennquist]

Glad to enjoy the beautiful town of Idstein and the brightest minds in #PFAS science at @PERFORCE3_ITN and #Fluoros2023. Learning a lot and trying to contribute with the perspective that many companies are both willing and capable to move away from PFAS.

Global sperm counts are falling. This scientist believes she knows why https://t.co/5dFimL6lhq

[Anna Lennquist @ALennquist]

Fluoropolymers simply are not safe. Both manufacturing and waste handling leads to tremendous environmental PFAS pollution. And this material cannot withstand heating above 450C. By then it releases toxic fumes leads to the medical condition “polymer fever” aka “Teflon flu”.

[Anna Lennquist @ALennquist]

While PFAS holds a number of unique properties and substitution can be challenging, functional, cost-effective and scalable alternatives are continuously being developed. Also for uses where this has been deemed "impossible".

Important mapping of how PFAS producers knew already in the 1960:s that PFAS was toxic and found in human blood, but systematically hid and diverted attention from this for decades.

[Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment @UCSF_PRHE]

BREAKING: PRHE scientists analyzed chemical industry documents showing how #PFAS manufacturers covered up the harms of their products. Time to strengthen #EPA regulations to ensure this can't happen again.

[Anna Lennquist @ALennquist]

This is important to remember - the WHY we need a swift and strict ban on PFAS. It might be a bit uncomfortable and bumpy for some, it is in the nature of transition. But there is really no other way forward now.

[Anna Lennquist @ALennquist]

"While the average market price of PFAS is about €19 (about $20.75) for each kilogram, the price spikes to about €18,734 ($20,456.78) for each kilogram when societal costs are factored in."

[Anna Lennquist @ALennquist]

Brilliant overview of all aspects of plastics, especially harmful chemicals. Showing the urgency to close the plastic tap and do things very differently. https://t.co/Cat618p2XF
