MAGA may have a set a new mark for belligerent stupidity

Global problems are rarely solved by one person or invention. The Ocean Cleanup didn’t work, for the reasons experts said it wouldn’t. What can we learn from this?

The Department of Environmental Science is one of the biggest departments at the Faculty of Science. The department consists of four units with more than 170 researchers, teachers, doctoral students a

Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are synthetic polychlorinated n-alkanes produced as mixtures of a range of CxClyH2x–y+2 formulas. CPs have numerous industrial applications but are toxic, long-lived, and environmentally ubiquitous with environmental releases occurring throughout their production, use, and disposal. Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs, C10–13) have been regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency since 2009 and by the Stockholm Convention since 2017. SCCP regulation is expected to cause increased production of medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs; C14–17), which are currently under consideration for Stockholm Convention regulations. Thus, there is a need to improve the understanding of MCCP environmental transport, distribution, and fate. Existing measurements are limited in their spatial and temporal coverage. Measurements of CP atmospheric loading are particularly scarce. Historically, these measurements have required long sampling times, obscuring the temporal behavior of atmospheric CPs. We report real-time in situ measurements of 18 gas-phase MCCPs. These measurements were made in the United States Southern Great Plains with nitrate ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry (NO3–CIMS). The estimated average lower-limit concentration of MCCPs is on the order of single-digit ng/m3. MCCP diel behavior is partially explained by gas-particle partitioning with implications for MCCP transport and lifetimes.

If we want more EVs in the US, all we need to do is allow the world’s most popular EVs, which are made by Chinese brands, to compete directly in the US market. This is why I think a recent landmark…

As global tensions rise, Canada and Sweden are shifting from defence procurement to long-term strategic alignment across security, industry and Arctic governance.

The stalled multinational effort to protect environmental and human health from plastic pollution is salvageable, with a revamped negotiation process.

Det pågår en duell mellan Sverige och USA om att få sälja stridsflygplan till Kanada. Det självklara valet borde vara USA – men inte längre.
