The DK Ministry of the Environment had appointed an expert group, re-evaluating the drinking water standard for nitrate.
Their recommendation: lower it from 50 mg/L to 6 mg/L!
This is huge news and has potential for immense impact on water supply in Denmark, and especially public health!

New results from our water and health research group:
- even very low arsenic exposure increased risk of type 1 diabetes in children.
Great work by our research year student! Need for replication in other low-exposed populations

Looks like one of the preeminent journals in my field, Environmental Health Perspectives, is shutting down - hopefully temporarily. I encourage authors with manuscripts under review there to preprint them ASAP if haven't done so already ehp.niehs.nih.gov/do/10.5555/b...
