#PolluterPays - ⚖ »Jeg har en meget stærk følelse af, at jeg skal forfølge verdens største forurenere.

De forsømmer folks ret til at vokse op i et sundt miljø,« siger advokat Bénédicte Ficq, der fører sag for 4.600 borgere mod #Chemours - tidligere #DuPont.

‼️ »De vidste, at forureningen var sundhedsfarlig. Det er en forbrydelse, der kan straffes med 15-20 års fængsel.«

Environmental harm though tyre pollution

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed

"Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tyre fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food. Researchers in South China recently found tyre-derived chemicals in most human urine samples."

"We know that heavier vehicles, including electric cars (which have very heavy batteries), wear down their tyres faster and generate more microplastic particles...With more than 2 billion tyres produced each year to fit ever-heavier and more numerous cars, the problem is set to escalate. The environmental toll will only increase unless we recognise and target the specific problem."
