can  we agree . . .

no.

 

" . . . published one of the earliest papers positing . . ." 

positing is presuming an assumption is truth.  it is not proof

 

"In some cases, the mix of chemicals matched the profile of those commonly found in computer and television housing

So the demand for black plastic appears to be met “in no insignificant part” via recycled e-waste,"

absolutely no suggestion where this "truth" comes from...  except that . . . . the computers resemble the spatulas, not the spatulas resembling the ewaste.  and take note... the mix of (unspecified) chemicals  . . . again with the almost truth . . .

 

" . . . another paper from 2018 . . ."
...not cited or linked, apparently anonymous?

 

either the lady has some factual information, or not.   and she's not willing to share those sources....

 

zealots have done horrendous damage -

"vaccines cause autism" - a medical doctor with a pet theory deliberately and intentionally "adjusted" his data to prove his point.

many children now left with life long health issues because he was believed.

 

"CA wines have high lead content" - another totally false OMG rumor - the 'author' spiked the wines . . .

 

"apple juice for babies contains arsenic" - another ignorant beyond belief zealot.  there's more than one flavor of arsenic . . . btw . . .

 

if one has concerns about flame retardants - check your child's sleepwear.  while the world was in a tizzy over PFOAs in Teflon, children's sleepwear - by Federal law - was loaded with PFOA as flame retardant....
