Lots of overflows currently discharging sewage into Manchester’s rivers. Check out the online map here unitedutilities.com/better-rivers/… Interesting choice of blue by United Utilities to represent a sewage dump💩 Purple indicates a discharge in the last 24 hours.

Road runoff enters rivers directly at highway outfalls. It also goes into combined sewage systems via drains. When sewage is discharged into rivers, as well as human waste, it may contain arsenic, heavy metals & PAHs from roads. A double hit for wildlife.

Presenting the case for grouping persistent and mobile substances based structure information, to prevent regrettable substitution & accelerate effective regulation. In the Montreal protocol all chlorofluorocarbons were restricted as a group, saving the ozone layer

Well done lead author Liz Duermit Moreau for this fantastic meta-analysis of parasites, decapods, fisheries, and host traits 🦀

Solitary behaviour corellates with less infection!

Longevity doesn't predict parasite diversity!

Hot off the press, Stormwater Shepherds UK & CIWEM have published a report on pollution from highway runoff. Find out how polluting this runoff is & how the failure to apply the regulations is leaving rivers open to toxic pollution every time it rains. stormwatershepherds.org.uk/2024/05/08/bol…
