#Recycling does work. But we must have right infrastructure, service provision & methods to enable behaviour change. It will always be subordinate to #prevention, #avoidance & #reuse & superior to #incineration and #landfill. Use the #WasteHierarchy. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

It would've been a "nicer" day if I hadn't found down the beach floor 🥲🫠 #plasticwaste #plasticpollution

Just published! World Health Organization (WHO) released updated report on human exposure and health effects of #microplastics. Limited evidence suggests microplastics likely exhibit similar toxic effects and mechanisms as other well-studies insoluble particles. apps.who.int/iris/handle/10…

Walking downtown in City of Toronto 🇨🇦 and see green paint on or by a storm drain? That means there’s an ENVIROPOD LittaTrap inside #TrappingTrash!! These traps divert litter from storm water runoff before it enters #LakeOntario. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority

Profiteering water companies. Toothless regulators. A complacent government. All turning a blind eye. 2.7m hours of sewage were pumped into the sea last year, poisoning precious ecosystems and making people sick. 🤢 This must stop. 💩😡 #EndSewagePollution

Not such a good morning for the UK's coastlines... Today most of the south coast is on 💩 alert. #SickofSewage? RT to show profiteering polluters that we're watching them 👀

So happy to share what my project is about University of Southampton and furthermore, getting an award from that! Thanks The Doctoral College for organising such events! Congratulations to everyone 🎉😀 #microplastics #phdlife

PhD funding in the UK! 🇬🇧 A friend of mine is hiring a PhD student to do research on hydrogen production from waste feedstock, witha focus on pretreatment #biohydrogen #biomass #biofuels PhD Voice - Independently Run findaphd.com/phds/project/u…

I'm a PhD student and I've learnt to keep certain level of professionalism to deal with issues related to the environment. Apparently, it's not necessary 🤡🤡 Thérèse Coffey says ‘I do give a s*** about #water #pollution ʼ express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Come and work with me and my colleagues! Fantastic opportunities for a senior #pelagic #ecologist and a senior #marine #biogeochemist at National Oceanography Centre careers.noc.ac.uk/vacancy/senior… careers.noc.ac.uk/vacancy/princi… #ecology #biochemistry #biology

Happy #ValentinesDay! From my #wastewater samples to all of you 💕 Such a coincidence (or not?) I got to find these particles pretty close to the aforementioned date #microplastics #glitter
