What if we could measure biodegradation of novel chemicals more high-throughput and support the design of better degradable chemicals? If you are as fascinated by this question as I am, join our team as PhD student in Environmental Chemistry.

What you don’t know can still hurt you! My colleagues Axel Mie and @christina_ruden have identified a critical failure in the regulation of chemicals: the chemical industry's underreporting of results from toxicity studies.

... and this is why we need to regulate based on #substancegroups, not individual substances, and on chemical hazards, not current risks, to protect human health and the environment from the increasing number of chemicals on the global chemical market. #PMT #PFAS @ZeroPM_H2020
