The processing of critical minerals typically used in EV batteries, such as lithium, nickel cobalt, and manganese, is done almost exclusively in China, Morgan Bazilian, director of the Payne Institute at the Colorado School of Mines, said in an ....

Chris Higgins, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, said more study is needed to determine how much of the PFAS in people comes from sludge-tainted plants and livestock.

Testing equipment also often isn’t sensitive enough to detect such small, but still potentially dangerous, traces of PFAS, Timothy Strathmann, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, said.
