PFAS in Global Seafood Trade

According to a recent study published in the journal Science, as reported by Phys.org Earth Sciences, the global seafood trade is inadvertently spreading 'forever chemicals' or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) around the world. These industrial pollutants persist in the environment for decades and can have significant environmental and health implications. While the study's findings may not directly impact mineral exploration, they do highlight the importance of environmental considerations in the mining industry. As companies like Pure Minerals continue to explore and develop copper and zinc resources in regions like Trøndelag, Norway, understanding and mitigating the environmental footprint of their operations will be crucial. The study serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of human activities and the environment, emphasizing the need for responsible and sustainable practices across industries.
