The replacement chemicals were brought in as a 'safer' alternative, but research has shown that they too can negatively impact human health.
As part of efforts to remove toxic forever chemicals from their products, manufacturers around the world are scrambling for safer replacements. However, studies have shown that some of these replacements are also dangerous and have already been detected in human urine and blood samples, household dust, and drinking water.PFAS are a class of chemicals that can be found in a range of everyday products, from toilet roll to food packaging, cosmetics and dental floss. According to the U.S.
Initial studies have shown that some ultrashort- and short-chain PFAS can have adverse effects on our reproductive system, development, livers, kidneys and fat metabolism.In a new study, published in the American Chemical Society's Environmental Science and Technology reports, researchers from Emory University and China's Southern University of Science and Technology analyzed over 300 samples of dust, drinking water, blood serum and urine from 81 people and their homes in the U.S.

How a small chemical change boosts bioavailability of drug moleculesThe effectiveness of any drug molecule depends on how well it interacts with the internal environment inside our body. Its pharmacokinetic (PK) properties determine how successfully it escapes degrading enzymes as it travels through the digestive system or the bloodstream, crosses biological barriers like the cell membrane, and reaches the desired target.

Source of electron acceleration and X-ray aurora of Mercury ̶ local chorus waves detectedSince Mercury is the closest planet to the sun among the solar system planets, it is strongly influenced by the solar wind, a high-speed (several hundred km/s) stream of plasma blowing from the sun. Explorations of Mercury were first carried out by the Mariner 10 spacecraft in 1974 and 1975, which revealed that Mercury has a magnetic field, and thus a magnetosphere, similar to that of Earth.

Multiple novel yeast species detected in the gut of green lacewing in JapanAmong fungi, including mushrooms and molds, there exists a wide range of yeast species that do not produce mycelium but instead grow as single cells through the processes of budding and division. Because yeasts multiply unicellularly, they are well suited to a liquid environment containing nutrients, and a wide variety is obtained from sap, nectar, sludge, and other sources.
