Check out this article by @VirginiaGewin on @anya_sherman_ et al.'s latest @FrontiersIn paper about #tire derived compounds in leafy #vegetables🌱🛞
Each year, about 800 million tires become waste. As they wear down—from contact with the road or the friction of the brakes—they shed chemical-laden particles, and those chemicals, it turns out, can find their way into crops.

Negotiators of an international treaty on plastic pollution just concluded their fourth session, leaving the talks with just one more scheduled session and no agreement on the scope of the future treaty nor any narrowing of options, @joshualinco1n writes. https://t.co/3rBypLweXx

Negotiators are trying to create an international legally binding treaty on plastic pollution. A few key states are standing in the way.

Toxic additives in tyre rubber can leach into soil, be taken up by plants and end up in our food, according to the latest study highlighting a major source of pollution that is largely unregulated.

Governments need to take action to protect people from potentially toxic additives in tyre rubber, say researchers after finding they can get into food from contaminated soil

"Die meisten Menschen schätzen den Konsens zwischen Forschenden in puncto Klimawandel auf 60 bis 70 Prozent. In Wirklichkeit, so Rahmstorf, gibt es so gut wie keinen Forscher, keine Forscherin, für die die anthropogene Erderwärmung nicht Tatsache ist." https://t.co/5RuphPW4qw
