The first joint Europe-wide assessment of the drivers and impact of chemical pollution by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has concluded that, despite progress in some areas, “more work is still needed to reduce the impact of harmful substances on human health and the environment”. Key findings include:

In Focus : Boron trifluoride tetrahydrofuran complex
Boron trifluoride tetrahydrofuran complex, is a colorless liquid that is commonly used as a colorless liquid that is commonly used as a Lewis acid catalyst in various organic reactions. It has a wide range of applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, polymers, and other organic compounds
In Focus : Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride (NRCL)
Nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRCL) is a unique form of vitamin B3. As a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a crucial coenzyme involved in various cellular processes, it has sparked interest in the realms of aging, metabolism, and overall cellular health.
In Focus : Tetrachlorvinphos
Tetrachlorvinphos (popularly known as TCVP) is an agrochemical belonging to class of organophosphates. It is a non-systemic insecticide and acaracide having widespread uses in crop protection, public health, and animal hygiene.
In Focus : Sodium Starch Glycolate USP/EP
Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG) is a very fine free flowing powder that is white or off white in color and has almost no odor. Its property of insolubility is remarkable, with complete insolubility in most organic solvents, and even in water. It is a sodium salt of carboxyl ether of starch and is appreciated for its stability and binding properties.

3-([Ethyl(3-methylphenyl)amino]methyl) benzenesulfonic acid is an organic sulfonic acid, a white crystalline solid, which is widely used as a catalyst, acidifying agent, and a reagent in organic synthesis.
Will Baltimore bridge collapse hit global supply chains?
In the early hours of March 26, the Singapore-flagged ship Dali, loaded with 5,000 containers, slammed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing the 1.6-mile (2.5-kilometer) bridge to collapse in a matter of seconds. The Dali was departing for Colombo when the disaster struck. Initial fears were confirmed that half a dozen people lost their lives in the accident.
In Focus: Sodium Trifluoroacetate
Sodium trifluoroacetate is a colorless organic solid belonging to category of fluoro compounds. It acts as a versatile trifluoromethylation agent in chemicals synthesis and is used to produce an array of chemical intermediates.
In Focus : Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate
Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, also known as IPBC, is an antimicrobial ingredient commonly used in cosmetics. It appears as a white, crystalline powder. It is not a paraben; it belongs to a different chemical class called carbamates. It is soluble in both water and oil-based systems. IPBC was invented in the 1970s and has a long history of effective use as an antifungal technology.
