Vireo Advisors, LLC and fellow members of the DIAGONAL consortium are proud to unveil the culmination of three years of research: the Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) Decision Support Tool. This tool is a result of collaborative efforts in the DIAGONAL project to analyze and predict the risks of nanomaterials to human health and the environment. 

In August 2024, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed An Act relative to the reduction of certain toxic chemicals in firefighter personal protective equipment, which requires manufacturers and sellers, by January 1, 2025, to notify buyers of firefighting personal protective equipment (PPE) if and why the equipment contains poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS; Commonwealth of Massachusetts 2024). By January 1, 2027, manufacturers and sellers must end all sales of firefighting PPE with intentionally added PFAS.
