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. Get the full story 👉shorturl.at/ejtN0

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... undark.org/2024/01/15/drinki…

The Cost of Freeing Drinking Water from ‘Forever Chemicals’

The EPA is set to limit PFAS in drinking water to barely detectable levels. Can water utilities meet the standard?

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.

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!
