This article examines the Southern California methyl methacrylate (MMA) leak, highlighting the chemical’s flammability and toxicity risks, the importance of rapid containment, and how ViridisChem’s Chemical Analyzer can help assess hazards and support safer chemical decision-making.

This article explores the widespread applications, environmental persistence, and human health risks of PFAS ‘forever chemicals,’ highlighting the importance of toxicity assessment and ViridisChem’s Chemical Analyzer in identifying safer, more sustainable alternatives.

This article explores how understanding chemical toxicity—from pesticide residues in the Dirty Dozen to persistent pollutants—can support greener product development, highlighting ViridisChem’s Chemical Analyzer as a tool for comparing chemical risks and guiding safer, more sustainable choices.

This study evaluates the quality of experimental property data in ViridisChem’s Chemical Database and the accuracy of predictive models used to fill data gaps, demonstrating strong quality-assurance results and predictive performance across a range of chemical properties.

There are potential health effects of chemical ingredients found in most sunscreens. Sunscreens are photoprotective preparations applied on skin for protection against melanoma (skin cancer) and sunburn. As the ingredients of sunscreen get absorbed into the skin, FDA carried out research on absorption levels for its chemical ingredients and found that 6 out of 8 active ingredients are absorbed at an alarming rate, far beyond the threshold limit.
