Did you know that 60% of the particles in your vacuum dust come from the outdoor environment?

Learn about what’s in your dust and how to reduce your exposure to potentially toxic contaminants in our latest @ConversationEDU article:

What washed in with the floods?

Early results from @VicGovEPA’s flood response testing in Maribyrnong are explained in our @ConversationEDU article with @mptaylor66 and @the_leahy.

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Floods stir up river sediments and can spread contaminants across the floodplain.

It’s a risk in areas with a history of industrial pollution, like Maribyrnong, write @mptaylor66 + his team (@Macquarie_Uni + @RMIT) – but EPA test results are reassuring. https://t.co/rUo5V7JwGW

From the water we swim in, to the air we breathe, and the food we eat. We are deeply connected to our environment. Everyone has a vital role to play to take care of it.

Lead levels in backyard hen eggs are often much higher than store-bought eggs.

A new @Macquarie_Uni + @OurANU study of soil lead, chickens and eggs locates the high-risk areas in our biggest cities.

Have you been spotting brush-turkeys in your backyard and reporting their behaviours on the @BigCityBirds1 app?

Well, the initial results are in!

You probably clean your shoes if you step in something muddy or disgusting, but when you get home, do you always de-shoe at the door?

We wade into the mess...on the bottom of your shoes!
