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.

[CHEM Trust @CHEMTrust]

👏🏽 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.

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.

What do do?
