An interview with two leading scientists in the emerging field of cumulative risks and impacts Scientists call the many thousands of toxic chemicals that enter our environment “toxicants.” As they persist and mix, we’re exposed to them in ways both obvious and subtle. Do they accumulate in our bodies? Do they harm us? Do US environmental laws recognize “cumulative risks” and “cumulative impacts” as real and substantial?

The global stampede to adopt net-zero climate goals continues unabated. As a goal net-zero is achieved when any residual carbon emissions are counter-balanced fully by dedicated carbon removal. Delivered at a global level, this would stabilise global temperatures. Almost 70% of states (accounting for 90% of the world’s economic activity) have adopted net-zero goals, as have 40% of the world’s largest companies.
