And here's an #environmentalpsychology perspective on #Pmsubstances #pfas #EssentialUse #RiskPerception and #chemicals #regulation #zeropollution #EU @ZeroPM featuring @hanspeterarp, Ellise Suffill and me, from the #ZeroPM Workshop in Gothenborg #h2020 https://youtu.be/nndkxcI_TpA

Lots of great resources from our @ZeroPM project can be found on the dedicated YouTube channel, for example here are the students and postdocs talking about their work on #Pmsubstances #pfas #EssentialUse including #RiskPerception and #environmentalpsychology #chemicals #regulation #zeropollution #EU #h2020 https://youtu.be/iQjTZ45Vhtc

@R_Figuiere presents how to use #essentialuse and #PMT criteria to assess what cosmetic ingredients are safest. Allura red in lipstick 💄 was not essential and best with beetroot red!

#ZeroPMworkshop with @joankevd

Great final Discussion Café on the last day of our #ZeroPMworkshop bringing together researchers, regulators, industry and more!

There is urgency to protect natural environments and human health from #PFAS, #PMT etc. Possible ways forward include regulation, applying the #EssentialUse concept, harmonisation, awareness raising and training in the industry

& thank you Sarah Hale and @hanspeterarp for organising a great workshop!
