Its coverage includes metals contaminating the environment, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), air pollution and endocrine disruptors. Harmful consumer products, workplace exposure, cosmetics, microplastic waste are described. <a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-80271-3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-80271-3</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfiction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chemicals</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pollutants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollutants</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a>

Hannah HoweThursday 21 March 1963Human life may be threatened by the growing use of chemicals in food production and domestic insecticides, a peer said last night. Lord Douglas of Barloch was particularly concerned about DDT. Lord Hailsham, Minister of Science, said, “I do not believe that there is any call for concern about the effects of these chemicals on human health.”<a href="https://toot.wales/tags/SocialHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialHistory</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Chemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chemicals</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Food</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/1960s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1960s</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"The EU proposal to restrict PFAS – or ‘forever chemicals’ – is at serious risk of being hijacked by corporate lobbying. Industry lobbies from Europe and across the world are targetting the European Commission to protect their PFAS profits from regulation, despite overwhelming evidence of the disastrous human health and environmental consequences of this pollution. Corporate Europe Observatory's analysis of newly-released documents reveals industry's influencing tactics, and concludes: it is time for a lobby firewall to protect PFAS decision-making from corporate lobbying. Read the report here. Short briefings are also available in: EN, DE, FR, IT, NL. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals used in waterproof coats, cookware, fridges, asthma inhalers, and industrial manufacturing. But these man-made chemicals are very hard-wearing and persistent which means they have huge implications for human health, the climate crisis, and the environment. In 2023 the groundbreaking investigation Forever Pollution Project identified 23,000 PFAS-contaminated sites just in Europe, with 20 manufacturing facilities and more than 2,100 sites considered to be “PFAS hotspots”.

sheislaurenceI first heard of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PFAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PFAS</a> from the French environmental campaigner Camille Etienne in 2024. Today residents in Bentham UK are taking legal action as these forever <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chemicals</a> pollute THEIR homes. <a href="https://www.channel4.com/news/the-residents-uniting-against-forever-chemicals-polluting-their-town-2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.channel4.com/news/the-residents-uniting-against-forever-chemicals-polluting-their-town-2</a>.

guyinahatI'm still experimenting daily to find a good <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alternativephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alternativephotography</a> process that I can do with safe <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chemicals</a>.
