Pollutants, Volume 3, Issue 4

December 2023 - 10 articles

Cover Story: Chemicals are important in society. Unfortunately, some are persistent and accumulate in the environment. The ‘Up-the-Pipe Solutions’ framework raises awareness about the presence and potential risks of chemicals in the household, including pharmaceuticals and personal care products. This framework uses the concept of essentiality to inform communities on how simple daily activities can contribute to the problem. It was successfully used with schools, local authorities, and Māori to discuss chemical pollution and lead to the selection of less harmful alternative products. View this paper
