Catch the latest work by our USA team on #dust and #QAC concentration during #COVID19.
#360dustanalysis #mapmyenv #globalhealth
Check out our paper in @EnvSciTech Letters with @GuomaoZheng and @GabeFilippelli on environmental implications of #COVID19. Our results show the levels of #QAC disinfectants used in cleaning products have doubled in homes since the start of the pandemic. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsβ¦

1/3 of children around the globe are poisoned by lead, meaning a permanent future of lowered intelligence and worse education/career outcomes

Our UK lab may be closed due to COVID-19, but that has not stopped them from expanding the #MapMyEnv database.
#Greece is now live! 20 dust samples from #Athens and #Thessaloniki can be viewed at mapmyenvironment.com with more to come...

Our global map is growing (mapmyenvironment.com).
Our Aussie team @ @Macquarie_Uni are still testing #VegeSafe soil and @DustSafeStudy dust.
Our other hubs are currently closed, however you can send your sample to be analysed when they're back in action!

Calling all #scientists! Do you have research lab #PPE (eg #faceshield/#N95/#surgicalmask/#gloves) going UNUSED? Have you checked with your institution or contacted a local emergency management authority about donating #PPE to help clinical colleagues? #HeroesNeedMasks #COVID19
As we all begin to self-isolate, why not make the most of this time to do a bit of spring cleaning and send us a vacuum sample? π§Ή We continue to accept samples worldwide. Stay safe everyone! #StaySafeStayHome #coronavirus #citizenscience #DustSafe #MapMyEnv
Our research continues to sweep across the world - new data for Africa is now live!!! Why not spring clean your home and send us a sample of your hoover dust? #citizenscience #DustSafe π π‘ππ§Ή
Recently added to our global map: vacuum dust in #Lagos, #Nigeria.
Have you sent @DustSafeStudy your dust? 360dustanalysis.com
#citizenscience #MapMyEnv
Welcome onboard, New Zealand! Global mapping is underway!! πWhat will your dust reveal? #DustSafe #citizenscience
Kia ora, #NewZealand! Welcome to MME. Researchers at @AucklandUni and @gnsscience have been busy preparing #DustSafe samples. They're also working on some top-secret #VegeSafe plans, so watch this space...

SOAP SOAP SOAP: Great details on soap π§Ό + virus: βsoap dissolves the fat membrane and the virus falls apart like a house of cards and "dies", or rather, we should say it becomes inactive as viruses arenβt really alive.β #washyourhands #COVID19
1/25 Part 1 - Why does soap work so well on the SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus and indeed most viruses? Because it is a self-assembled nanoparticle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bilayer. A two part thread about soap, viruses and supramolecular chemistry #COVID19
