A recent study conducted by Harvard found that unmonitored PFAS can accumulate and last for centuries. Earlier in the year, the United States Environmental Protection Agency proposed the maximum allowable levels of six PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as "forever chemicals," in potable water. However, these provisional regulations don't cover half of the PFAS found at pollution sites nationwide.

L'Assemblée nationale a enregistré, le 1er juin, une proposition de résolution sur le lancement d'une commission d'enquête sur « les causes de l'incapacité de la France » à atteindre ses objectifs en matière de produits phytosanitaires, fixés dans les plans Ecophyto successifs, à l'heure où le Gouvernement a lancé les travaux de préparation d'un nouveau plan Ecophyto. Portée par le groupe Socialistes et apparentés, cette commission sera présidée par Dominique Potier. Elle conduira ses travaux au ...

## Scientists Identify 97 Pesticides and Flame Retardants in Study of Primate Population

Scientists have identified 97 different types of pesticides and flame retardants in primate fecal samples, recently reporting their results in the journal Biology Letters. In Uganda's Kibale National Park, researchers studied the chemical exposure of four species of primates (chimpanzees, Ugandan red colobus, olive baboons and red-tailed monkeys), adding to previous research on the subject. The chemicals demonstrate a measurable effect on primate growth and development, sparking considerable unea...

PAN Europe requests to end the use of very toxic pesticides in greenhouses

Recently the European Commission has renewed the approval for some very toxic pesticides, restricting utilisation to greenhouses. The EU institutions' falsely treat permanent greenhouses as closed spaces preventing the release of pesticides into the environment. The EFSA guidance document explains that "high-tech greenhouses, usually perceived to be 'closed systems', may still result in [...] leakages into the environment"[1]. Scientific findings confirm that greenhouses are clearly leaking pesti...

Le plastique a des conséquences sur la Planète et notre santé, c'est un fait, et selon Inger Andersen, de l'ONU-Environnement, nous en abusons « parce qu'il est trop bon marché ». Actuellement et jusqu'au 2 juin, des délégués de 175 pays se réunissent dans l'objectif de faire aboutir un traité international essentiel pour réduire cette pollution. Les militants, eux, sont invités « à maintenir la pression ».

Highlights from the symposium “What roles can European cities and local authorities play in the prevention and protection against endocrine disrupting chemicals?”

Across Europe, cities and local authorities are taking important steps to limit people's exposure to harmful endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). To put a spotlight on these initiatives and foster inspiration and opportunities for synergies, Réseau Environnement Santé (RES), EDC-Free Europe and the Baltic Environmental Forum (BEF) Germany organised a symposium in the European Parliament in Strasbourg on 20 April 2023, with the support of the city and Eurométropole of Strasbourg.

## New Viewpoint of the Historic Link between Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and Cancer Discussed

A review of scientific literature published in the Journal of Endocrinological Investigation demonstrates exposure to past and current-use endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), like pesticides, have a long history of severe adverse human health effects. Endocrine disruptors are xenobiotics (i.e., chemical substances like toxic pesticides foreign to an organism or ecosystem) present in nearly all organisms and ecosystems.

## Toxic chemical cocktails found at over 1,600 river and groundwater sites across England

New analysis of official Environment Agency data has revealed the worrying scale of chemical cocktail pollution in rivers and other freshwater sites across England. The research, which looked at the prevalence of give chemical cocktails known to have toxic impacts for wildlife, also highlights the lack of official monitoring for known harmful chemical cocktails, as well as the lack of a regulatory framework to address these mixtures.

## Scientists Develop Nontoxic Method To Deter Rodents from Eating Planted Seeds in Crop Production

Scientists have developed a nontoxic method to deter rodents from feeding on freshly planted seeds, publishing the approach in the journal Nature Sustainability this month. The new tactic, which confuses mice through olfactory misinformation, has the potential to significantly reduce the use of hazardous rodenticides in farming operations. The approach comes at a time of increased scrutiny around rat poisons, specifically second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs), which can result in t...

New research is zeroing in on the role of 10 commonly used pesticides in the development of Parkinson's. Published in the journal Nature Communications by a team of scientists lead by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, the study focused on the toxicity of these pesticides to neurons that have been found to lead to the presentation of the disease. Research is increasingly focusing on environmental exposures, and pesticides in particular, as a major factor in the development ...

The Administrative Court of Montpellier banned two glyphosate products marketed by Syngenta. The company did not submit the mandatory risk assessment on the impacts on bees, other insects, soil and water life. For this reason, re-authorisation should not have been granted by the authorities. This result is a great win and an important achievement by our member Générations Futures. It will not only protect human health and the environment but also shows the importance to take action and keep the a...

## Agricultural Pesticide Use the Primary Driver of Bird Declines in Europe

Agricultural intensification is the leading factor driving declines in bird populations across Europe, according to research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) this week. Among all potential anthropogenic impacts, agricultural intensification, in particular pesticide and fertilizer use, was found to be more dramatic than forest alterations, urbanization, and climate change.

## New model for predicting adsorption of PFAS by microplastics

Rivers, lakes and oceans worldwide are home to trillions of pieces of plastic pollution that are smaller than five millimeters in length, known as microplastics, and their size allows them to easily enter humans and animals. Some can adsorb and transport other harmful toxicants that pollute waterways, including certain types of a more recently discovered set of toxic "forever chemicals" called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.

## Pesticide Exposure Increases the Risk of All Seizures Disorders, Especially Epilepsy

(Beyond Pesticides, May 11, 2023) A study published in NeuroToxicology finds occupational (work-related), chronic exposure to pesticides increases risk factors of epilepsy, a neurological disorder causing unprovoked, reoccurring seizures. Mounting evidence over the past years shows that chronic exposure to sublethal (low) levels of pesticides can cause neurotoxic effects or exacerbate preexisting chemical damage to the nervous system. Although the mechanism by which pesticides induce disease deve...

## Turning the tide on Europe's water pollution crisis

Two decades after the adoption of the EU's Water Framework Directive, less than 40% of Europe's rivers, lakes, coastal and transitional waters are in good chemical status. But why is water pollution still such a problem? Turns out some aren't cleaning up after themselves - and it's high time that they do.
