Last update: 10 hours agoNobel Chemistry: Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for how “mirror-image” (homochiral) molecules can emerge through non-linear effects and autocatalysis—work that underpins more precise pharmaceutical manufacturing. Climate & Health Policy: A new Greek analysis says pharmaceuticals make up about 7% of the toxic load in treated urban wastewater (Athens and Larissa), with other pollutants—like industrial chemicals, tyre compounds, pesticides and biocides—driving most toxicity as the EU tightens micropollutant rules. Extreme Weather & Water Risk: Crete is dealing with severe storms and flooding, with damage assessments beginning after days of intense rain and evacuations. Migration Protection: UN agencies report over two-thirds of refugee and migrant children arriving via Mediterranean/Balkan routes in 2025 were unaccompanied, with environmental hazards cited among drivers of dangerous crossings. Energy Transition: A report says Bucharest ranks last in Europe for switching from fossil-fuel heating to sustainable systems, citing gas dependence and slow strategy—an issue Greece also faces. Agriculture & Water: Greece’s cotton sector (about 80% EU share) faces higher costs, irrigation needs and unstable weather, pushing producers toward better water management and traceability.
