Has your agrochemical, pesticide or industrial chemical shown thyroxin modulation? Our team can investigate and identify species-specific differences in mechanisms for thyroxin (T4) modulation. This enables you to address questions about human relevance, navigate regulatory concerns, and respond to data requests for safety profiles, environmental impact, and human health risk assessments. Book an appointment with our expert John McManus to find out how we can support your regulatory requirements: https://bit.ly/3WiVrnO Learn more: https://bit.ly/4cCP2tk #ThyroxinResearch #RegulatorySupport #HumanHealthRisk #EnvironmentalImpact #SafetyProfiles #JohnMcManus #SpeciesSpecificResearch #HealthRiskAssessment #RegulatoryCompliance #BookAnAppointment #ExpertConsultation #ScientificResearch #DataRequests #HumanRelevance #T4Modulation #SafetyAssessment #ResearchSupport

Pesticide manufacturers and registrants, like many other companies, are facing increased pressure to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from their products. This pressure, however, is often focused on how the substances are defined as a class, rather than how science has measured the toxicity of each specific substance within it. This is particularly troubling with respect to PFAS because most of the substances in the class lack any scientific evidence of an ability to harm humans, animals or the environment. For more information on efforts to ban PFAS as a class in pesticides, read our (Joo Cha Webb and Julie Michalski) alert below.

https://lnkd.in/eNRSXuGR Pesticide residues in food: latest figures released "Of the samples analyzed in the EU-coordinated programme: 51.4% (6,023 samples) were free of quantifiable levels of residues. 47% (5,512) contained one or more residues in concentrations below or equal to permitted levels (known as maximum residue levels, or MRLs). 1.6% (192) contained residues exceeding the permitted levels".

🔔🔔🔔Event Alert 𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐓 is taking part in an upcoming event on 𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 🗓️: 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝟐𝟖𝒕𝒉 𝑱𝒖𝒏𝒆 from 10:00-13:00 CEST; 📍 : 𝑶𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 🎯 Goals of the event: The symposium will highlight the role played by collaborative Green Deal projects in the effort to reduce the use and risk of chemical pesticides, and to showcase recent research and impact achieved across Europe. Here, we will bring together practitioners, researchers and policy-makers to find common ground and consider policy recommendations for the future of Sustainable Use of Pesticides in Europe.

#Pesticides are important chemicals that have major influence on #planetaryhealth. Prof. Federico Maggi from the University of Sydney, National Champion of Australia, along with his winning article's co-authors Fiona H.M. Tang and Francesco N. Tubiello, share their thoughts on the kind of research required to find #innovativesolutions to global #contamination at large and pesticide contamination in particular. https://lnkd.in/ddq6SwMe

A new study in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives indicates that PFAS account for 14 percent of all U.S. pesticide active ingredients. Authors of this article outline the research and make recommendations, such as the discontinuation of fluorinating plastic containers, identification of “inert” ingredients on pesticide labels and enhanced immunotoxicity tests for PFAS active and inert ingredients, among others. What are your thoughts and what role can academic researchers play? https://lnkd.in/gq5Z7VVW

🚨 New study by Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Europe reveals concerning levels of #PFAS in Europe's water. 🔍 At DESOTEC, we tackle this challenge head-on with our expertise in activated carbon filtration, a technology defined as Best Available Technique (BAT) for PFAS removal. 👌 Let's work together to ensure clean, #SafeWater for all. 💧 Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/et5sryN3 Get more information about DESOTEC's solutions to eliminate PFAS for good: https://bit.ly/3VLejKN #WaterSafety #PFASremoval #EnvironmentalProtection #ActivatedCarbonFiltration #PFASpollution
