Wednesday at a hearing in the Bundestag for the ban. Scheringer is a professor of environmental chemistry at ETH Zurich. PFAS are per- and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds that do not occur in nature. They are called eternal chemicals because they do not break down in the environment or only with difficulty. So they accumulate not only in soil and water, but also in people. This...

More strictly regulated today Not everything that is natural is good - and not everything that is artificial is reprehensible. However, when it comes to the so-called eternal chemicals, which do not occur naturally in the environment, there is increasing evidence that they are an extremely problematic class of more than 10.000 substances. [...] A new study in the journal "Nature Geoscience"...

This emerges from the “Global Oil & Gas Exit List”, which...

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and is released, among other things, during the anaerobic breakdown of organic material in soils, marine sediments or water bodies. The gas can also escape from natural gas and gas hydrate deposits underground. But some of these potential methane sources are still blocked: the permafrost and ice sheets of the polar regions cover the deposits and...

In addition to the intensive use and destruction...
