We're launching a Senior Fellows Program to support leading env. health scientists & policy experts in developing & implementing new ideas to reduce chemical harm. Inaugural fellows: Meredith Williams, Joel Tickner, Susan Kegley, Lauren Heine & Arlene Blum greensciencepolicy.org/about/senior...

Polymers are large chemicals that are generally exempt from regulation. New evidence shows they can break down into smaller toxic chemicals, contradicting long-held assumptions of safety. www.forbes.com/sites/arlene...

'To escape regulation, flame retardant and #PFAS producers are increasingly pivoting to #polymers for use in everyday products' - @greensciencepolicy.bsky.social. But a new study in @nature.com shows that polymers may not be safe #NonToxic alternatives after all. doi.org/10.1038/s418...

New study in @naturesustain.bsky.social demonstrates that polymers used as flame retardants can break down into smaller harmful chemicals. This contradicts the long-held assumption that polymers are too big to be harmful. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨As dangerous lithium-ion battery fires are on the rise, regulators and manufacturers are scrambling for solutions. Unfortunately, one common strategy may cause serious health harm and not work to slow or stop the fires. See new viewpoint: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Why are cancer-causing flame retardants in our cars? There is no evidence that this is providing a fire safety benefit. @consumerreports.org @iaffofficial.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/arlene...

New article by Arlene Blum in @forbes.com: "Lawmakers can find ways to implement community protections and incentivize innovation away from #PFAS and other harmful chemicals used in chipmaking. The U.S. can’t build a clean energy future on a dirty foundation." www.forbes.com/sites/arlene...

"As we embrace the technologies that can lead us out of the fossil fuel era, we must also ensure that our path forward does not leave a trail of toxicity in its wake. The clean energy revolution should not exchange one form of environmental harm for another." www.forbes.com/sites/arlene... #PFAS
