A precautionary approach is required to protect the health of our soils from contaminants in #SewageSludge🌱
Find out why in @TheENDSReport's article & in our Joint NGO Position Paper with @EIA_News linked below.

We tested blood & hair from 17 politicians & environmentalists for #chemical pollution🧪

All of them tested positive for forever chemicals #PFAS, hormone disruptors & heavy metals🚨

We're calling on all politicians to back stronger chemical controls👇

. @samirashackle on just how complex it is to rid your home, food & water of PFAS. @fidra & @CHEMTrust argue forever chemicals are hidden in so many places, you can't escape them through 'consumer choice' - we need regulation to eradicate these toxins.

Can you remove #PFAS 'forever chemicals' from your home? The Guardian explores this impossible task in their recent article here 👇

Whether they are swimming through our rivers, or breaching out of our oceans, aquatic animals are crucial for their ecosystems🐳

This #WorldAquaticAnimalDay lets work towards cleaner environments for these species and call for an end to harmful and unnecessary use of #chemicals!

Brilliant to attend the @ScotLINK #FarmForScotlandsFuture event at Holyrood @ScotParl.

Great to discuss farming for climate and nature with familiar and new faces. 🪱🌾

We all want Scotland's seas to thrive. They provide us with food, recreation & are vital to coastal communities.

For 10 years @scotgov has dragged its feet in protecting our marine protected areas.

Harmful chemicals that have been banned since 2001 are still being found at toxic levels within 48% of marine mammals tested in UK study. 🐳

We must end our reliance on harmful #chemicals to prevent further build up in the environment. ⚠️

This #PolarBearWeek we are highlighting the scale of #PFAS pollution in the Arctic!🐻‍❄️

Forever chemicals are increasingly present within the Arctic, causing detrimental health effects on polar bears and other wildlife.

This wed, @channel5_tv , 7pm I'm presenting a Shit Show 💩! Literally! 'Swimming In Sewage, Britain's Water Scandal'. Sewage, wet wipes, toxic chemicals, it's all in there! Met @mattstaniek, @CleanIlkley, Mark Barrow, @bunce_sally, @PutneyFleur all amazing campigners #sewage

[Sylvia A. Earle @SylviaEarle]

There’s still time. There are species that are gone forever, and the chemistry of the ocean has changed, the ecosystems are damaged, but we can stabilize things to prevent further damage. We can and we must.

[Fidra @FidraTweets]

⚠️Chemical regulation in the UK is falling behind.

The UK Government must act now to bring an end to harmful and unnecessary #chemical use.🧪🚫

⚠️ #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.

Happy 111th birthday to this little one

[Fidra @FidraTweets]

New research highlights that 710 tonnes of #Pesticides 'active ingredients' leach into the world’s oceans each year. Pesticides can contain #PFAS which remain in the environment causing damage for thousands of years🚫🧪🌍
