📢Our new paper on #PFAS #scicomm is online. We found that the majority of studies finding links between PFAS & human health harms are published w/o a press release & receive little or no media coverage. Are the daily headlines just the tip of the iceberg?ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

ICYMI our @nytimes essay on the Ohio 'bomb train': "As long as PVC production continues, the risk of vinyl chloride spills will persist. Worse, more workers and communities will be exposed to the ticking time bombs of cancer and other severe health harms." nytimes.com/2023/02/19/opi…

“Freight trains typically transport more than two million carloads of hazardous materials each year, including many chemicals. Vinyl chloride is particularly dangerous and increasingly common,” write three experts. nyti.ms/3xvrELD

Opinion | This Deadly Chemical Should Be Banned (Published 2023)

The cancer-causing chemical vinyl chloride was vented and burned after the Ohio train crash to avoid an explosion. The United States should phase it out.

An op-ed from me and @Green_Science exec. director Arlene Blum urging @GavinNewsom to lead on solving the nation's #PFAS crisis, starting with ending their use in school uniforms and other clothing: sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo… @sfchronicle

Toxic chemicals are in our clothing. California can stop that

AB1817 would ban toxic “forever chemicals” from California textiles.


Analysis finds gov. health agencies often understate the scientific evidence surrounding the toxicity of #PFAS on their websites, fact sheets, and other online materials. #scicomm #healthcomm ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Hear hear 👏👏 "Papers are excellent tools for scientist-to-scientist communication, but often... it’s important to adapt them into something that can be used by the world’s media. This will ultimately help them have greater impact." #scicomm #research nature.com/articles/d4158…
