My latest paper PFAS in biosolids: Insights into current and future challenges presents key perspectives on #PFAS management in #biosolids drawn from interviews with technical leaders at major water utilities across Australia, Canada, Denmark, NZ and USA.

It was a pleasure to deliver an invited lecture on the risks and environmental implications of the circular economy with a particular focus on plastics and microplastics and discussed the unintended consequences of recycling of plastics and tyre rubber.

PFAS are infiltrating soils, crops & our food. Yet, research on PFAS in agricultural soils remains limited. Read our hot-off-the-press open-access review article published in the Journal of Environmental Management!

Pleased to see my recently published article on #PFAS #leaching from #concrete being discussed in Japanese media.

明日（11月22日）発売の週刊金曜日に「PFASの新汚染源はコンクリート　洗っても洗っても落ちない」という記事を書きました

米軍や自衛隊の消火訓練の貯水池や大規模駐車場の湧水槽に溜まったPFASはコンクリートの中に染み込み、水を変えると染み出してくるという現状と新研究を紹介しています

[Prashant Srivastava @PrashantSri12]

Our latest paper in @EnvSciRSC journal Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts shows that #AFFF-impacted #concrete could #leach a significant proportion of #PFAS depending on functional group & chain length (short-chain PFAS being highly leachable).

Presented my @CSIRO #research on #PFAS #leachability from #contaminated #concrete and #asphalt at #RemTEC Summit in Westminster, Colorado, USA today. Excited to learn from and interact with the best researchers in #emerging #contaminants space.

Zinc is essential to life on Earth – but where did it come from? 🪨

Researchers from @EarthSciCam have used the chemical fingerprints of zinc within meteorites to determine how zinc and other 'volatiles' arrived on our planet.

There are a few things Aussies and Brits have in common.

A passion to make the world a better place is one of them.

That's why we're excited to be partnering with @UKRI_News. Here are some of the challenges we'll be tackling together: https://t.co/i2M7JcCYvJ

Australia’s use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is charging ahead. 🔋

But as demand grows, so too does the question of how we safely manage waste.

Now, a recently constructed pilot facility for recycling LIBs is helping uncover crucial insights: https://t.co/pGPqHfasYR

@BudimanSoil Well done Budi. Congratulations!
