  • Forever chemicals

    From Gordon@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 28 03:05:01 2024
    https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2024/07/09/study-electric-vehicle-batteries-are-source-of-hazardous-forever-chemical-pollution/

    With the net zero narrative we have the demand to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, which is essential for life on earth as we know it, but it seems that nasty chemicals which do not go away are okay to build up in the environment. These "forever chemicals" are from EV battery manufacture.

    This is a great disaster waiting to happen.

    It certainly sounds bad, Gordon, and I am surprised we have not heard
    of this before, but then I read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitbart_News

    Now many people would see that as sufficient evidence that it is a
    fake story, but it is worth looking further - see also:

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-49753-5 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jul/14/forever-chemicals-lithium-ion-batteries-environment
    https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/07/240708222418.htm

    and a search on polyfluoroalkyl substances gives:

    https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/01/31/nz-to-ban-forever-chemicals-in-cosmetics-from-end-of-2026/#:~:text=The%20Environmental%20Protection%20Authority%20(EPA,protect%20consumers%20and%20the%20environment.
    from which: "From December 31, 2026, cosmetic products containing PFAS
    are banned from being imported or manufactured in New Zealand."

    and https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/04/30/napier-drinking-water-tests-clear-of-forever-chemicals/
    and https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/08/13/kiwi-scientists-find-way-to-destroy-forever-chemicals-in-soil/

    So I guess all we now need to know is whether the current government
    will extend that Environment Protection Authority ban to harmful
    substances that you have pointed out may exist in electric vehicle
    batteries . . . New Zealand seems to be at least up with if not
    ahead of the rest of the world - do you have concerns that the current government will not follow through in relation to electric batteries
    for Tesla EV's, Gordon?

    Yes, and nobody can say they haven't been warned. Even in this modest forum there have been warnings for years about what seems to be a headlong rush into a yet to be fully understood technology.
    But that is not new for Homo Sapiens.

    No, you have joined in with the pathetic rabble that attack messengers >>instead

    doing, ignoring the content.

    On the contrary - the Brietbart site is indeed one that is often
    accused of peddling misinformation, but I did what many, including you
    Tony, often refuse to do - I checked with other websites to find that
    is in fact not a normal far-right trumpian fabrication - and indeed to
    also find that New Zealand is onto at least parts of this problem - as
    shown below.
    No, you blindly followed your leaders. As usual.

    Irrelevent.
    Not irrelevant at all - the original article relates d to electric
    batteries; the problem is wider than that, but New Zealand is aware of
    the problem - but there may still be a concern is our government
    ignores the science. Just give it a bit of thought, Tony, and you will
    see that even if you cannot accept that i am "Right", the concerns
    raised in the original post may be very real, and yes even relevant.
    Off topic.
