Yes, indeed: “If society values clean water, then we need to understand the consequences of chemicals that we put in the natural world,” said Bryan Brooks… The bottom line, he added, is that “if we put stuff in the environment, we need to understand what happens to it.” @michaelgbertram.bsky.social
