Machine Learning-based Classification for the Prioritization of Potentially Hazardous Chemicals with Structural Alerts in Nontarget Screening
Nontarget screening (NTS) with liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) is commonly used to detect unknown organic micropollutants in the environment. One of the main challeng...

The French Parliament has approved a ban on the manufacture, import, and sale of #PFAS in cosmetics, ski wax, and clothing by January 2026, which will be extended to all textiles in 2030.
This country just voted to ban ‘forever chemicals.’ It’s not the U.S.
French lawmakers approved legislation banning PFAS in cosmetics, ski wax and clothing.

It’s always a pleasure to be back at my alma mater i.e. Univerisité de Lausanne @unil.bsky.social, to give a lecture on #HRMS and its applications for environmental and forensic analysis to students of the Ecole des Sciences Criminelles
