Why is it so difficult to do without fossil fuels, and how can we accelerate the energy transition to cleaner sources?

Paolo Magliocco and Rossella Li Vigni visited the Poison Control Center at the Maugeri Clinical Institutes in Pavia to learn about the arduous struggle to discover them, catalog them. And make them illegal.
