As our coastal #historiclandfills start to erode they are releasing legacy waste to the marine environment. #ICYMI last night's @BBCTheOneShow and our research reveals #plasticpollution and #medicalwaste on our beaches.

Great thread from @leanahosea summarising the multiple and complex pollution sources contributing to the poor state of our surface waters
The beautiful River Plym entering the important shellfish waters of the Plym Estuary, whence they flow into the Plymouth Sound Marine "Protected" Area. The value of these waters to wildlife might make you think every step would be taken to prevent their pollution... 🧵1/12

I’ll be on BBC Morning Live tomorrow talking about the long term impacts of #landfill on the environment and human health. We still send millions of tonnes of #waste to landfill each year and it will be a burden for future generations @QMULGeography ..

1000s of observations of #microplastic and their association with suspended sediment reveal a simple mathematical relationship between MP size and Floc size enabling us to predict *how* they’re transported in any aquatic setting. Great first PhD paper @nanwu1112 congratulations
Delighted to share our paper with @DrKateSpencer @GIStuart and Andy Manning published at @NatureWaterJnl This study can predict which fraction of #microplastics can be incorporated into and transported with #flocs in various aquatic environments
