Great talk from Aaron Kintzi EDGE - Environmental Geosciences at the 2024 Water Chemistry Conference in Limburg, Germany, about #biodegradation of #watersolublepolymers . Well done Aaron

Toxic additives in tyre rubber can leach into soil, be taken up by plants and end up in our food, according to the latest study highlighting a major source of pollution that is largely unregulated. newscientist.com/article/242838…

EDGE members participated again at the Vienna City Marathon this year. Richard, Natalie, Michael, and Aaron embraced the sunshine and ideal running conditions, crossing the finish line within an impressive 3 hours and 37 minutes! #ViennaCityMarathon 🏅🧪'

A federal court approved the 3M's offer of at least $10 billion to settle PFAS claims of roughly 12,000 public water systems across the US. benvgo.com/rKSOvnY

'Die meisten Menschen schätzen den Konsens zwischen Forschenden in puncto Klimawandel auf 60 bis 70 Prozent. In Wirklichkeit, so Rahmstorf, gibt es so gut wie keinen Forscher, keine Forscherin, für die die anthropogene Erderwärmung nicht Tatsache ist.'

#Environment and #Climate Hub Universität Wien

A unique mix of expertise came together last week to launch the #PFASAN project at the Science Centre in Arsenal! The teams, led by Thomas Reichenauer (@AIT), Thilo Hofmann (@EDGE_Vienna Universität Wien), Ottavia Zoboli & Heidi Schaar from our institute, w/ support of 2 firms, ...1/2

Check out this new paper by Sampriti Chaudhuri et al. that explores how the efficacy of Pb, As(v) and Sb(iii) removal by #biochar is determined by #SolutionChemistry !

Dr. Valentin Göldner will focus on #transformation products of #organic #pollutants and their (eco-)toxical potential.

Dr. Göksu Çelik will study the effects of #emerging #organic #contaminants on (human and environmental) #microbiomes .

Welcome🎉

Today we're officially launching the
#Environment and Climate Research Hub Universität Wien
ech.univie.ac.at

We're absolutely thrilled to have Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 as our eminent #keynote speaker, giving a fascinating overview of #ClimateChange data & its debate & reception...

Three new group members have joined EDGE in February:

Dr. Sarah Pati is our newest assistant #professor and will be working on #organic #contaminants in aquatic systems.

Great talk today from Andy Booth Andy on #plastics pollution and biodegradation in the EDGE - Environmental Geosciences Seminar.

Today, Sampriti Chaudhuri defended her PhD on #metal adoption to #biochar . Well done, great work. Thilo Hofmann EDGE - Environmental Geosciences

Great public discussion by the #Environment and #Climate Hub of Universität Wien in cooperation with NHM about our Life with the #waste of Modern Society . Great talk from Ulrike Felt about data, #plastic and renewable energy waste. Thilo Hofmann PLENTY Plastics Research Platform

Plastics are used (with good reason) across many agricultural practices, but they can be used more sustainably to reduce pollution while still increasing crop yields. Many reflections on this in a great collaborative perspective just published in Nature Comms Earth & Environment

Our new paper on #Plastics #Agriculture #Sustainability is out Universität Wien
