#TFA
is a global threat. In this ES&T perspective, ZeroPM researchers discuss the potential long-term, irreversible impacts from the rapidly increasing
#emissions of #TFA, and call for immediate action to reduce emissions of this #PFAS and its precursors.
Proposal of three Water Quality Indicators towards Zero Pollution. ZeroPM recently sent feedback to the EU to consider three new water quality indicators, for monitoring that the EU's water will improve within planetary boundaries towards #ZeroPollution.
https://zeropm.eu/2024/01/proposal-for-three-water-quality-indicators/
The EU recently requested feedback on is priority objectives for its 8th Environmental Action Program, for environment and climate policy until 2030 and its long-term vision to 2050 of living well, within planetary boundaries. As part of this there a call for feedback regarding current existing environmental indicators. As part of this members of ZeroPM … Continue reading "Proposal for three Water Quality Indicators"
To facilitate green minded companies to transition away from #PFAS and #PMT ubstances, we present the work of
ChemSec within ZeroPM to advance online tools for companies to identify hazardous substances in their supply chain, and how to replace them in this recent publication:

Persistent, mobile and toxic (PMT) and very persistent and very mobile (vPvM) substances have gained significant attention in recent years. The substances do not break down in the environment over appreciable time scale, can travel long distances with water bodies and can cause toxic effects on the environment and human health. Hazard classes for these substances were introduced into the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation in March 2023. A key preventative measure to reduce manufacture, use and emissions of PMT/vPvM substances, is a market transition away from these substances to less harmful alternatives. Companies may be unaware of which of their products contain PMT/vPvM substances. The Horizon Europe research project ZeroPM: Zero pollution of persistent, mobile substances is seeking to support this market transition by developing and further extending tools including the Substitute It Now (SIN) List, the Marketplace and a PFAS Guide for companies. These tools will be discussed.
🎧 HEADPHONES ON! Stripes have been used to illustrate the #climate crises, #biodiversity crises and most recently the chemical #pollution crises.
Now the #chemicalstripes have recieved their own, chilling #soundtrack. 🎼
The heartbeat tracks time, the clicking noise represents the growth in chemical numbers (right axis), the chords the patent numbers (stripes), while key events (blue/purple) have their own distinct sound.
Chilling.
May the Fourth be with you! It is a big day for #ZeroPM at #SETACDublin today. We will have a session, several presentations and posters on #PFAS, #PMTs transformation products and #chemical stripes! We will post are materials after the conference!
Where to find us :-)
ZeroPM is monitoring ways to prevent, prioritize and remove #PFAS and #PMT substances, but who is monitoring #ZeroPM?
