For those interested here are some of the long-term data trends in the freshwater invertebrates in the UK rivers over the past few years in relation to land use and water quality.

👏🏽 The transition to a PFAS-free economy is underway.
A broad restriction with ambitious timelines to phase out the different uses of PFAS is key to ensuring its success.

⚠️ #ChemicalPollution is devastating the ocean and the lives of #whales and #dolphins who call it home. Hear Lulu's story below to learn how killer #chemicals are affecting these beautiful creatures and how we can stop this from happening👇
Our new report calls on @pow_rebecca, @DefraGovUK and @RuthNewportWest to step up and make vital changes to the chemicals legislation so that whales and dolphins are protected in the future.
A huge thank you to @jinglejam for supporting this project and @Voiceoverbird for giving a voice to Lulu.

The purpose of the new chemical hazard classes #PMT and #vPvM are to prevent persistent substances like #PFAS from entering and accummulating in #water resources
A recent paper criticized the #PMT criteria based on misconceptions.

Who are the biggest #PFAS polluters?
What are their lobby strategies?
Who are their allies?
Out today: brand new research exposes the #ForeverChemicals lobby as the battle on the proposed ban hots up.

Please check out our latest #openaccess paper revealing shockingly large illegal trade of highly hazardous chemicals worldwide. Concerted action is needed to strengthen global governance of #chemicals, #waste and #pollution, the third pillar of the #TriplePlanetaryCrises.
An analysis in @naturesustainab suggests that over 25 megatonnes of hazardous chemicals have been traded illegally between 2004 and 2019, despite regulations in place to mitigate their trade. go.nature.com/3O4w98W

How to avoid the next Silent Spring? As shown by using #chemicalstripes in @EnvSciTech, #PFAS use started before #RachelCarson wrote Silent Spring in the 60s.
...Since then #persistent chemical pollution has gotten out of control.
What do do?
