Excited to say my first paper has been published in the Annual Review of Environment and Resources! 📚 This came off the back of the time I spent working with @wwf_uk. @AlistairBoxall @JunLi1906 @AleBou4 @YorkEnvironment @UniOfYork annualreviews.org/content/jo…
Silent Side Effects: Pharmaceuticals as Contaminants of Emerging Concern

Silent Side Effects: Pharmaceuticals as Contaminants of Emerging Concern

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are emitted to the environment via various pathways. Consequently, there are concerns over the potential impacts of APIs in the environment on ecological and...

A nice article in iNews on our TFA monitoring study. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category…
The UK rivers where ‘forever chemicals’ are found – and why scientists are worried

The UK rivers where ‘forever chemicals’ are found – and why scientists are worried

The first study of the TFA forever chemical indicates they are present in virtually every river in Britain

Our study with @FidraTweets on TFA concentrations in UK rivers is covered by the BBC today. bbc.com/news/articles/cm2yjx…
'Forever chemical' TFA found in all but one of tested UK rivers

'Forever chemical' TFA found in all but one of tested UK rivers

The long-term impact of the chemical on human health is still unclear and being researched.

Congrats to Zheng Fang on his latest PhD paper. This one shows that #microplastics can reduce the toxicity of salinity to #earthworms and that salinity is a more significant environmental challenge to earthworms than microplastics. authors.elsevier.com/c/1lEy4…

An excellent piece by Phoebe Weston in the Guardian today covering some of our initial findings from the @NERCscience ECOMIX project on chemical mixtures in Yorkshire's rivers. theguardian.com/environment/…
Pesticides, antibiotics, animal medicines: the chemical cocktail seeping into our rivers

Pesticides, antibiotics, animal medicines: the chemical cocktail seeping into our rivers

The list of everyday pollutants is a long one, and they could be as damaging to our water ecosystems as sewage spills

The ECOMIX project volunteers met up this afternoon at @yorkadventurers to celebrate the end of our 12 month monitoring study of Yorkshire's rivers. During the event we were able to give the team an overview of some of the initial findings of the work.

It’s been a nice couple of days in Nijmegen with @JunLi1906 and @AlistairBoxall visiting the team at Radboud to discuss our exposure assessment modelling work for @PREMIERProject6. Always great to spend some time in the Netherlands!🇳🇱☀️

Only one-third of Europe’s surface water qualifies as good or better, study finds theguardian.com/environment/…

Only one-third of Europe’s surface water qualifies as good or better, study finds

Data compiled by EEA shows quality of water bodies falls far short of target first set for 2015 and since extended to 2027

Most of the group took some time out today to visit Whitby and enjoy a round of crazy golf and eat fish and chips and ice cream.
