Congrats to researchers Lee Ferguson, Detlef Knappe, and Pingping Meng on publishing their paper on PFAS in lithium-ion batteries in the journal, @NatureComms. The NC Collaboratory supports their research via funds from @NCLeg.

A plastic additive known to interfere with testosterone production is facing restrictions in at least two states.
The bills address plastic IV bags, tubing and other medical devices and would prohibit medical manufacturers from using plastics with DEHP.

every day learning a little bit more about how just these 2 compounds affect us.. “We found PFOS was closely associated with coronary artery disease, while PFOA was more predictive of coronary microvascular disease.”

Gov. Cooper has proclaimed June 3-7 as PFAS Awareness Week in North Carolina. North Carolinians deserve clean water and we must continue to hold polluters accountable and be at the forefront of the fight to contain forever chemicals.

Dr. Scott Belcher shared how PFAS are toxic, persistent, bioaccumulative, and mobile. They impact drinking water. As an example, there have been findings of unregulated production by-products of fluoropolymer production. Research details will be presented during his sessions, Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals in Reproductive Endocrinology and Integrating Communities and Environments to Address PFAS Toxicity.

thanks for having me on @democracynow
American manufacturing giant 3M discovered and concealed the risks of PFAS for decades, according to a new investigation by @fastlerner for @ProPublica. "Forever chemicals" have been found in the blood of almost every person in the U.S. and are linked to serious health effects.

Forever chemicals, known as PFAS, are linked to various forms of cancer — and they are found in firefighting gear and in the foam used to put out fires.
In CBS News’ Eye on America, Mark Strassmann looks at the threat facing firefighters, tonight on @CBSEveningNews.
