Researchers at EPFL and the Ecotox Centre have developed a new formula for thermal paper that does not contain bisphenols, which are harmful to health. Instead of the chemicals used previously, wood-based substances are now used.

The Ecotox Centre invites you to a webinar with Prof. Ed Topp (INRAE) on Tuesday, 20 January 2026, at 4 p.m. on the topic of ‘The environmental relevance of antimicrobial resistances’.

The Ecotox Centre is working with the National Soil Monitoring Programme (NABO) / Agroscope and EnviBioSoil on a concept for monitoring pesticide residues in Swiss agricultural soils. The project is part of the federal government's action plan for risk reduction and sustainable use of pesticides. Project manager and soil ecotoxicologist Mathieu Renaud reports on the progress made so far.
