'... these findings strongly support a mechanistic link between pesticide exposure and cancer ..."

Using an integrative spatial Bayesian framework that merges high-resolution environmental pesticide risk modelling with comprehensive cancer registry data, this analysis reveals spatial patterns of pesticide exposure and liver tissue-derived molecular signatures across Peru, establishing links between pesticide usage and cancer insurgence at the national scale.
Test of 31 #Shein items found 25 (81%) exceeded #EU REACH limits.
High levels of #phthalates (in 18/22 items, up to 70× limit), #PFAS (9/11 items, up to 3,115×), and #HeavyMetals (cadmium up to 126 mg/kg, lead up to 2,110 mg/kg).
Risks: skin contact, ingestion (children), environmental contamination.
Shein says it removes flagged items; @greenpeace calls for stricter enforcement and platform liability.
Enjoy the silence sagte die Natur.

🫧 Shipping regulations to reduce pollution may have exacerbated Great Barrier Reef bleaching

Rising ocean temperatures have been implicated in mass coral bleaching events affecting the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). These events have been increasingly frequent, with major events occurring in 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2025. Now, in an unexpected turn of events, it appears that regulations introduced in 2020 to reduce ship fuel pollution may have actually increased the solar radiation that leads to increased coral bleaching, according to a study published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment.
Understanding how air pollution behaves and how it’s measured is a first step toward protecting our health and to #BeatAirPollution at its source.
