Last day of IWA NOM7. I heard interesting presentations, gave my own (hopefully interesting) presentation, met a lot of inspiring people, had good conversations, was fascinated by a great city, learnt to eat with chopsticks. Good 3 days! 😀 @HydroScholars @Geog_UoD @IWAHQ

Bravo 👏! Last week, @EU_Commission restricted 4 phthalates from articles in the EU market. Phthalates are mainly used to make plastics more flexible, transparent & durable, but they have toxic effects on reproductive health and impact #OurOcean wildlife. ec.europa.eu/growth/
