They have contaminated drinking water, accumulated to levels of concern in some fish, and entered the bloodstreams of animals and humans, raising serious health concerns. While some PFAS are being phased out, they’re often replaced with new ones that may also be toxic. Finding and keeping track of these emerging PFAS is challenging. New research has found a way to detect them. Most commercial laboratories target about 40 PFAS, “but we know many, many more exist,” says Erin Baker, an analytical chemist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The US Environmental Protection Agency, for example, maintains a list of more than 14,000 PFAS that may be used in making products resistant to oil, water, and heat.

Scientists have recently found that the vaporized metals condense as they descend, ending up in aerosol particles in the stratosphere ( Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2023, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2313374120 ). This discovery is part of the Stratospheric Aerosol processes, Budget, and Radiative Effects (SABRE) mission. During a series of flights in February and March, the researchers sampled the stratosphere at altitudes up to 19 km. The researchers detected almost two dozen elements that come from meteors, volcanoes, and vaporized spacecraft. Meteors are considered the main sources of sodium, magnesium, chromium, iron, and nickel, but the researchers also found aluminum, copper, lead, and lithium that could not be accounted for by natural causes. “What we measured is consistent with what we know about what spacecraft are made of,” says Daniel Murphy , an aerosols","PeriodicalId":9517,"journal":{"name":"C&EN Global Enterprise","volume":"120 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136023091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dow’s sales were down 24% in the third quarter versus the year-earlier period, while net income fell 57%. Selling volumes declined by 6%, but a bigger factor in the results were prices for Dow products, which declined 18% from a year earlier—primarily the result of lower energy costs. Sales in the company’s largest business, packaging and specialty plastics, were down 26%. Demand for the segment’s key product, polyethylene, was strong, but volumes for merchant sales of chemicals were weak. Moreover, the unit saw a 20% decline in prices. The main reasons for the sluggish economic performance: Europe, which continues to show tepid growth, and China, which is experiencing a slow recovery from its COVID-19 lockdowns.
