The gases used to keep patients asleep during surgery belong to the #PFAS family, the 'forever chemicals' Europe is moving to restrict. What does that mean for #anaesthesia? A new editorial in the European Journal of Anaesthesiology takes a closer look.
🌱Roz is an inspiring environmental advocate, and we are looking forward to hearing her perspective on the UK government’s plans to tackle #PFAS, the ‘forever chemicals’, as a Member of the Environmental Audit Committee, which published an enquiry on the topic earlier this year.
The United Nations just confirmed it: toxic #PFAS #ForeverChemicals constitutes a global human rights crisis.
The UN is calling for a legally binding global strategy to phase out non-essential PFAS uses.
EWG (@ewgofficial.bsky.social) stands with that call.

@HollyAlpine and @anneregan1 will guide us through insights and actionable ideas on #pollution of all kinds, including what is generated from #DataCenters and #emissions that #AI will enable that most haven't even considered.
"I maggiori produttori mondiali di #PFAS stanno progettando o realizzando aumenti della capacità produttiva per soddisfare anche la crescita dell’elettronica avanzata, dei semiconduttori e dei sistemi di raffreddamento dei data center."

Voor de jaarlijkse competitie voor synthetische biologie iGEM stort het Wageningse team zich op #PFAS. Ze proberen de E.coli-bacterie zo om te bouwen dat hij 'forever chemical' TFA kan opsporen, vangen en afbreken. www.resource-online.nl/index.php/20...
Did you catch all 8 REMEDYOS objectives?
From mapping PFAS-polluted sites to developing and testing bio- and nature-based remediation solutions, the full series is in one place.
