„#Microplastics were detected in all semen & urine samples, with participants typically exposed to 3–5 different types. The detection rates of PS, PP & PE were the highest. Notably, PTFE exposure was significantly associated with decreased semen quality.“

@MelanieBergma18 Thanks @MelanieBergma18 ! For anyone without access to Nature, here is their "SharedIt" link that should let you read the whole article...

Important take by @MattMacL on the Nature article published yesterday by Cottom et al.: Waste management won’t solve the #plastics problem — we need to cut consumption. Common sense really, all things considered👇

Had a great conversation with @DTyfield on his podcast about the nature of the #novelentities planetary boundary... Check it out!

Extremely thankful and delighted that the team won this best paper award. Although it was a team effort, Amanda gets most of the credit for sure! #PFAS #Batteries @JonBenskin

[Department of Environmental Science at Sthlm Uni @AcesSthlmUni]

A new study published in @ScienceAdvances shows that crushing waves re-emit PFAS, the forever chemicals, back to land in a "boomerang effect," posing serious health risks, especially in coastal regions.

Big, detailed feature article from yesterday about PFAS in US drinking water. Lots of nice quotes from some guy called "Prof Cousins" (@IanTCousins) who seems smart. I learned the difference between an MCLG and an MCL... https://t.co/XvoJsla3QQ

TLDR: Facts don't change minds, social circles do.

[Matthew MacLeod @MattMacL]

“…it is questionable whether an evidence-based article such as this one will serve to change minds…"

So I am sharing it here to engage the social mind and improve decision-making...

In her research, Professor De Wit showed the increasing concentration of brominated flame retardants in breast milk and in the eggs of birds, like peregrine falcons. Some of these substances are now banned, partly due to her work.

[Department of Environmental Science at Sthlm Uni @AcesSthlmUni]

Head of Department Professor Anna Sobek opened the session by thanking Professor De Wit for "always saying" to taking on challenges that benefited all.
Professor Matt MacLeod @MattMacL followed with a "scientific analysis" of Professor De Wit's contribution to science!

[Matthew MacLeod @MattMacL]

In just over one hour (13:00 CET) join our Special Symposium recognizing the retirement of Professor Cynthia de Wit.

Science and stories all afternoon!
