Thank you @PrivateEyeNews for giving me such a great platform to discuss how lead from abandoned mines, old pipes and paint in our houses, could be poisoning hundreds of thousands of children a year here in the UK. open.spotify.com/episode/4nB…
I’m so honoured to have been chosen as the recipient of this award! Policy impact work is never easy but is incredibly important, so it’s amazing to be recognized for it
3. We're thrilled to see @aisartorius from @UoNScience emerge as the winner of the Rising Star Award: Policy Impact.
Her work continues to push boundaries in environmental research, with her PhD uncovering risks from trace metal pollutants in food and water beyond mining site.🥳

ICYMI - the July UK #inflation data contains some positive signs for the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, but a second consecutive rate cut isn't a certainty.

I'm excited to announce the release of our latest UK economic forecast today! Putting this together, it was clear that there's some better times ahead for UK businesses and the economy

Another fascinating article highlighting how much we still don’t know about the extent or impacts of metal pollution
🚨Latest investigation into human health risks posed by old lead mines. This time in North Yorkshire.
This often invisible poison accumulates in soil where it is consumed by animals or seeps silently into food production and then on to humans. 🧵ft.com/content/5bcc846c-9858…

This is a full circle moment for me - a @voiceofyoungsci workshop got me interested in and gave me the tools to start sharing my research, and I’m looking forward to helping others get started!
Two days left till the @voiceofyoungsci's Standing up for Science workshop on 24 May at the @UniofNottingham
Big thanks to our wonderful panellists! Looking forward to an insightful discussion

Welsh government facing "urgent" calls to tackle risks posed by abandoned metal mines in Wales amid warnings of a potential "environmental and public health scandal" in the country.
Committee has written to ministers warning the current system "has failed to deliver.”
🚨 A UK parliamentary committee has launched an investigation into the human health risks posed by abandoned metal mines following revelations from a Financial Times investigation.

We are deeply concerned by what we have heard about metal mine pollution in Wales.
Unless urgent action is taken, the issue has the potential to become an environmental and public health scandal.

200,000 people in Wales live near land contaminated with heavy metals, MPs told.
Stephen Crabb says “whole set-up just isn’t fit for purpose for dealing with this problem and the scale of it." Adds: "It’s really concerning what we’ve heard".

It was a pleasure to be part of this panel to share insights from my research into metal contamination. There’s still a lot of important work that needs to be done to study this issue and support the affected communities across Wales

I'm looking forward to discussing metal mine pollution at this session tomorrow!
Is enough being done to resolve metal mine pollution in Wales?
Tomorrow, we'll quiz academics and regulators about the extent of metal mine pollution in Wales and its possible impacts.

Over 100 years since the closure of mines in Wales, they're still polluting rivers. Lead pollution doesn't just go away by itself without active remediation efforts.
Three different mines, three different histories, one thing in common - sustained input of metals into rivers. My latest paper is now out in the Journal of Hydrology, looking at #Nantymwyn, #Frongoch and #ParysMountain metal mines:

This is a great first step addressing the potential dangers of trace metal pollution, and I'm very proud that my research over the last six years has helped get us to this point
