The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

🧪 A new @PRORISK_H2020 study shows pollutants can be more toxic in real-world conditions than in lab tests 🧐

A thesis reveals that pollutants can be more toxic under real conditions and shows the limitations of current thresholds | CEAB

The research shows that the toxicity of chemical pollutants reaching our rivers increases when interacting with environmental factors such as rising temperatures or the presence of biofilms, calling into question the classical criteria used to establish legal safety limits, which often fail to reflect the complexity of natural ecosystems. Researcher Amina Khalid recently defended her… A thesis reveals that pollutants can be more toxic under real conditions and shows the limitations of current thresholds
