Excited to share a new Oxford U Press paper by our own Prof Quinn and team. It shows quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) aerosols are generated when using common household spray cleaning products plus many VOCs not listed on publicly available sources: https://t.co/ujAwdQK5Qi

We were happy to see climate change discussed at the recent Presidential Debate. Voters, especially young voters, deeply care about this very real issue. It should be given more time and attention to ensure we are battling this "existential threat" with the care it requires.

We are very excited to share the release of a new @UNEP publication that provides vital detail on how to improve the process of toxic waste removal:

Global Framework on Chemicals - A Planet Free of Harm from Chemicals and Waste:

The best way to prevent these disasters is to phase out vinyl chloride and replace it with safer alternatives.

Excellent and important coverage from @AmudalatAjasa @washingtonpost

[Toxic-Free Future @ToxFreeFuture]

Excellent coverage of our new report, Toxic Cargo, by @AmudalatAjasa @washingtonpost, on the rail transport of toxic #vinylchloride:

"The best way to prevent the next big disaster involving vinyl chloride is to phase out its production and use." #BanPVC
