Congratulations to a great team on the publication of our review paper on climate change influence on POPs & CEACs in the Arctic physical environment @AMAP_Arctic @ECCCSciTech @NCP_PLCN pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Spreading the word on PFAS in the Arctic - @JackGarnett07 absolutely smashing it ❄️🧑🏻🔬👏🏻 thetimes.co.uk/article/foreve…
Great to virtually meet and chat to fellow plastics researchers at today’s #GSLPlastics21 using Gather Town (once I finally found my poster). Looking forward to keeping up with the research presented, some really interesting and thought-provoking stuff 🤯
Coffee time - but a reminder to check out the posters at 16.30, including @kateyvalentine, @thesedimentgirl, @_HBall, @FreijaMendrik, @robert_newbould, @lucreciaalvare7, @FeeTenbrink, @daniellejadem (...and others not on Twitter!) #gslPlastics2021
Loving the #GSLPlastics21 conference so far, great to see some amazing research being carried out to tackle the issue of plastics in the environment! Thanks for the shout out @_niahjones 😇

Using siMPle (simple-plastics.eu) automated analysis to identify and quantify #microplastics in various stages of sewage treatment. Re-assuring that 99.8% of plastic is removed from the final effluent @AliceAHorton @_HBall et al. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Published in full today: our new study on #microplastics in wastewater #influent, #effluent and #sludge, with a focus on robust methods, quality control and blank corrections #LOD #LOQ. Funded by @UK_WIR sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @UK_CEH @NOCnews @SETAC_plastics @CEH_ecotox
Full version of our new paper @EnvSciTech: low concentrations of #microplastics detected in treated #potable #water corresponding to high treatment efficiency (99.99%). Blank corrections are critical to prevent over-reporting @UK_CEH @NOCnews @LancsUniLEC pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
I'm pleased to share my new discussion paper ‘#Microplastic #pollution in a rapidly changing world: Implications for #remote and #vulnerable #marine #ecosystems’ coauthored with Dr David K. A. Barnes of @BAS_News authors.elsevier.com/a/1bIccB8ccoHaT @NOCnews @NERCscience @CLASS_UKRI Pls RT!

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, it starts at home. We need nature more than ever, yet some of us are still treating it like a dumping ground. Please take all your rubbish home with you & inspire others to do the same. Let’s show our planet we’re deserving of all it does for us. 🌎💚
Loving being able to see all of this incredible plastics research from the comfort of my bed this morning!! ☕️
Great session this morning on plastics in terrestrial ecosystems - some very interesting methods discussed! #shareEGU20
#MeetAScientist: @_HBall from @LancasterUni is a PhD student in @CAO_EISPAC Hollie examines the sources, transfer and fate of microplastics in the Arctic marine environment For info about her project: bit.ly/39zHxTK @NERCscience #UKinArctic @BMBF_Bund #ArktisImWandel
Great couple of days in Bangor talking all things #microplastics! Attended a very inspiring talk from Jacqueline McGlade on the future of our oceans, and got to see some amazing views in Snowdonia 🌞
