Journal that published faulty black plastic study removed from science index - Ars Technica


However, the authors made a math error in their analysis that put their estimate of exposure to toxins from kitchen utensils off by an order of magnitude. Corrected, the article notes that the exposure potential from kitchen utensils is actually less than a tenth of the limit considered safe by the Environmental Protection Agency. Further, the study found flame retardant contamination in less than 10 percent of the 203 household products it examined—and only about 8 percent of 109 kitchen utensils.


I did not know that the original paper was retracted

I never heard of this until the retraction stories started popping up.
in reply to Christoph S

The story got Lots of attention on "social media".
And since SM drives MSM these days, it got lots more attention than was deserved. I'm all for avoiding the gatekeeping of journals, but the "pre press" unfiltered stuff pollutes as much as it democratizes science.


The words "show" and "for a month" were redundant here.

Ah, but if CEOs weren't paid amoral, even morbid amounts of wealth, we wouldn't have any CEOs!

"Okay, Jen, but what's the downside?"

Well, um...

in reply to Deniz Opal

CEO's mostly get payed in stocks, not salary
they don't even sell their stocks, they just borrow money with their stock as collateral .. that way they pay no capital gain taxes



Even if you win a shit fight, you still wind up covered in shit.

Curiosity moved me to investigate further.

'What's the sense of wrestling with a pig? You both get all over muddy . . . and the pig likes it.'" (April 1948)

"Don’t wrestle with a chimney sweep or you will get covered with grime." (1776)

"He who wrestles with a hog must expect to be spattered with filth, whether he is vanquished or not." (1872)
