Yay! @Heunicke vil forbyde PFAS i tøj, sko og imprægneringsmidler. Det er vigtigt, fordi PFAS skader vores miljø og sundhed - nu og mange år frem. Udmeldingen viser en vilje til at gå forrest. Håbet er selvfølgelig at få resten af EU med.

Hør podcasten "Det rene vanvid". Et kæmpe wake-up call om at vi har brug for at beskytte vores grundvand.
De kemikalier, der  trænger ned i grundvandet, ender i vores kroppe og har betydelige sundhedsskadelige effekter.

Dette er vigtigt for de mennesker, der er blevet udsat for store mængder PFAS. MEN vi må ikke tro, at vi kan medicinere os ud af fortidens synder. Vi SKAL forebygge at vi udsættes for kemikalier, der skader vores sundhed.

Do you want to do research in environmental health?
Then come work with me in Copenhagen!

We have two fully financed PhD positions (on environmental chemicals, breastfeeding, child immune function and gut microbiome).

Knowledge about PFAS exposure in Africa is limited. We studied infant PFAS levels in Guinea-Bissau.
Levels were lower than among infants in high-income countries. Region was the most important predictor, suggesting important environmental sources.

@JosephMBraun1 @amatimmermann In a NASEM Town Hall, a farmer reported lower milk yields in dairy cows contaminated with PFAS. There seems to be some consistency across species for this endpoint.

@JosephMBraun1 So happy this is out. Thank you work and inputs!

[Amalie Timmermann @amalietimmer]

@MeganERomano Yay! Thank you for all your help and work on this!

More than 110 experts raise alarm over WHO’s ‘weak’ #PFAS limits for drinking water https://t.co/lehJbNP6rQ @DarkWatersMovie #ExposureBook @DevilWeKnowFilm @Lesscancer @YaleDeptEHS @WHO

@Tina33833164 Hej Tina. TV2 dækker denne sag, og hos Forbrugerrådet TÆNK kan man skrive under for et forbud mod PFAS i danske forbrugerprodukter. Det er svært selv at passe på, så er der brug for handling på samfundsniveau. Hos green science institute følger de udviklingen internationalt.

Var i TV2 News her til morgen og tale om de bekymrende fund af PFAS i dansk regnvand https://t.co/jtuT1GQfi4

[Amalie Timmermann @amalietimmer]

I signed this letter to the WHO hoping they will revise their PFAS guidelines draft and take our research serious! https://t.co/pV2z2GKGuU

Fluorstoffer skal fjernes fra alle produkter i Danmark, mener Forbrugerrådet Tænk og en række eksperter. https://t.co/hwi8Ko423B

I forlængelse af problematikker afdækket af Philippe Grandjean, Tina Kold Jensen og Amalie Timmermann m.fl. har forrbugerrådet Tænk startet en underskrifts indsamling https://t.co/uwPIqTg51m

[Amalie Timmermann @amalietimmer]

@JosephMBraun1 Yes, that is not normal…

[ScienceNews @sciencenewsdk]

New research shows that women’s exposure to chemicals such as bisphenol A and perfluoroalkyl substances have been associated with reducing the duration of breastfeeding.
