PFAS influence the development and function of the brain

Because of their special properties – heat resistance, water and grease repellence, and high durability – PFAS are used in many everyday products (e.g. cosmetics, outdoor clothing, and coated cookware). But it is precisely these properties that make them so problematic. “Because some PFAS are chemically stable, they accumulate in the environment and enter our […]

Urban environments promote adaptation to multiple stressors

Animal populations from urban areas show significantly higher resilience to stressful environmental conditions. This was found by an international team of researchers led by Dr Elizabeta Briski from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany. The mussel and crustacean species studied were able to adapt to disturbed environments, making them more resistant to […]
