🎧 Today in Jyllands-Posten's podcast (in Danish 🇩🇰) I was interviewed about how dangerous nitrate in drinking water is. My main points below in the comments. jyllands-posten.dk/podcast/hvis...

Hvor farligt er nitrat i drikkevandet egentlig?

Drikkevandet fylder så meget i valgkampen, at vi taler om et decideret drikkevalg med heftig debat om forbud og frygt for nitrat i Nordjylland.

6 mg/L 🚰 The DK Ministry of the Environment had appointed an expert group, re-evaluating the drinking water standard for nitrate. Their recommendation: lower it from 50 mg/L to 6 mg/L! This is huge news and has potential for immense impact on water supply in Denmark, and especially public health!

New results from our water and health research group: - even very low arsenic exposure increased risk of type 1 diabetes in children. Great work by our research year student! Need for replication in other low-exposed populations www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Looks like one of the preeminent journals in my field, Environmental Health Perspectives, is shutting down - hopefully temporarily. I encourage authors with manuscripts under review there to preprint them ASAP if haven't done so already ehp.niehs.nih.gov/do/10.5555/b... 1/3

~120 colorectal cancer cases & ~2 billion DKK annually could be saved if nitrate levels in Danish drinking water were lowered significantly - new paper out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... First post from me on episky, not quite figured out if it's possible to write a longer thread 🤔
