What makes this particularly worrisome is that humans can be exposed to endocrine-disrupting chemicals simply by touching plastic, inhaling microplastics within dust, and eating food or drinking water that has been in contact with plastic. Those facing the greatest risk tend to be residents of low-income communities and people of color.

During this era, humans began releasing concentrated amounts of carbon and other emissions, causing extreme air pollution and marking the start of the constant rise of atmospheric CO2, leading us to where we are today. . The Anthropocene.

As the phrase ‘forever chemicals’ enters the Oxford English Dictionary for the first time in 2024, and these fluorinated substances expand the list of micropollutants, it might be time for a change in the way these persistent environmental pollutants are tackled. Some use technologies like ozone oxidation, and membrane filtration.

But agriculture can also be a carbon sink, where carbon is stored (sequestered) in both crops and soil. We see particularly strong opportunities in increasing the affordability and availability of new mobility options for residents in low- to moderate-income communities, who often have the longest commutes and suffer the most from pollution.

Due to extensive land, water and resource requirements and the resulting emissions and pollutants, meat and dairy products easily take the cake for foods with the largest carbon footprints. This not only alleviates the world’s food waste problem and the associated landfill emissions, but it also lowers your waste collection costs.

All materials do this, even plastics, which break down into what we call microplastics – i.e. plastic particles smaller than 5mm. Biodegradable Straws Reduce Microplastics at Sea and on Land. We call these microplastics – and they have reached some of the most remote parts of the world. As such, it’s not a very precise term.

We are still seeing too much pollution from sources we have known about for years: sewage, farming, industry and road-run off. Meanwhile new threats are seeping into our waters, including microplastics and so-called forever chemicals. More fundamentally, the EA is not responsible for the pollution in our waters.

The pandemic is still raging, the Arctic is burning up , and microplastics are polluting every corner of the Earth , but do try to take a deep breath. By contrast, the lush rainforests to the south of the Sahara have trees that both block the wind and hold on to the soil with their roots, keeping all the muck from taking to the air.
