In light of today’s announcement by US EPA regarding proposed standards for #PFAS, I want to highlight our recent study, with @sauve_sebastien, on occurrence of PFAS in drinking water in Québec, Canada. Grateful to @SERDP_ESTCP for funding support. https://t.co/5OPQQhSWy8

@SilentSpringIns It is great to read the comprehensive study by @SilentSpringIns. It echoes some of the findings in the study @sauve_sebastien and my group conducted in collaboration with @CECweb in 2017. Here is the link to the full report in English, French and Spanish https://t.co/RYMiu70T2z

Urban wastes used as fertilizers contain higher PFAS than livestock manure @liu_Jinxia, @sauve_sebastien,

PFAS are hard to degrade because they have strong carbon-fluoride bonds. But microbes 🦠 might be up for this challenging task! Learn more at https://t.co/Ba2Q8lS3nC

Check out our new ES&T article - even structurally very similar PFAS precursors have varying persistence/stability in contaminated soils and degrade to PFOS or PFOA at vastly different rates. https://t.co/xFDJzDMvdQ

This week, @SonyaBuyting concludes our series on ‘forever chemicals.’

These substances are in our environment and the laws controlling them may not be keeping up with the science.

How to minimize the risk of airborne virus transmission indoors
-upgrade to high-efficiency duct filters in HVAC
-regularly change air filters
-use portable air cleaners in poorly ventilated and/or crowded spaces
-do things we already know

What you won’t hear from leaders of Southeast Asian countries, Australia, or New Zealand:

“We are not going to control the pandemic.” #COVID19

Is it too late for us now?

[Environmental Science & Technology Journals @EnvSciTech]

How persistent are the PFAS precursors in aqueous film-forming foams? Some precursors can quickly degrade in surface soils to produce PFOS or PFOA. Read the full study in ES&T Letters: https://t.co/WgxNHpf29W

Now that the cycle of overproduction and overconsumption has ground to a halt, might we have a chance at realizing a more sustainable, slow-paced fashion culture? https://t.co/fzz4ORcyfu

Why are we more afraid of coronavirus than climate change? https://t.co/NeQWSJQonT
