I’ve written to @thameswater CEO Chris Weston asking for greater transparency in how the Teddington sewage recycling proposals are being assessed, & to relay residents’ concerns about social, environmental & construction impacts.

#PFAS have quickly established themselves as one of the most infamous environmental pollutants.
Together with David Megson @ManMetUni , we curated a collection of papers that made a significant contribution to our understanding of PFAS in water. A thread 1/5

As part of its #CleanUpPFAS campaign, the @RoySocChem is calling on the government to ensure the many types of PFAS are reported and captured in a national inventory and to impose stricter regulatory limits on allowable levels in industrial discharges.

All our water should be safe – but our analysis shows that a third of water courses tested in the UK contain medium/high-risk levels of #ForeverChemicals called #PFAS. Write to your MP to #CleanUpPFAS and lower the risk of health conditions such as cancer rsc.org/policy-evidence-camp…

Once you’ve written to your MP using our interactive map, share it with your network. Together we can call for the PFAS limit to be reduced tenfold to 10ng/l for each PFAS, with a new measure of 100ng/l for all PFAS combined #CleanUpPFAS

Companies made tens of billions of dollars making and using toxic #PFAS, creating the biggest environmental contamination crisis in human history.
Now they don't want to pay to #CleanUpPFAS.
