Excessive amounts of chemicals and nutrients in the environment due to human activity and naturally occurring parasites affect the health of fish. Importantly, while both pollutants and parasites affect fish, pollutants can also directly or indirectly influence the number of parasites that in turn harm fish! This is an additional reason to reduce the number of pollutants in the environment. In this article, I explain how pollutants can increase or decrease the number of parasites and explain what we can do to reduce pollution: #pollution #parasites #environment

One standout attendee at this year’s PLANETech - Climate Change Technologies conference in Tel Aviv was Platypus, led by CEO Gilad Yarkoni. Yarkoni aims to transform pest management and offer a safer, more sustainable alternative to traditional pesticides. Yarkoni explained to the Impact Nation team what sets Platypus apart: a two-pronged approach. First, they offer extended-release natural pest control methods (essential oils, pheromones), reducing reliance on harsh chemicals. They’ve also eliminated the need for complex formulations, instead offering a pre-mixed base – an industry first! Freeing ourselves entirely from harmful pesticides is no easy task, but Platypus is clearly up to the challenge! #PLANETech2024 #ImpactNation #sustainability #climateaction #pestmanagement #environmentalimpact #naturalsolutions #Platypus

🌍 Tackling Wastewater & Carbon Emissions with Microalgae: A Sustainable Solution 🌿 The increase in global population and urbanization leads to more waste and wastewater, resulting in contamination of land and water resources. This contamination exacerbates water scarcity and poses significant health risks due to pollutants and pathogens. Wastewater often contains harmful chemicals such as nitrates and phosphates, contributing to problems like eutrophication, which affects aquatic ecosystems and human health. The review by Rengarajan et al. focuses on assessing the effectiveness of microalgae in treating major wastewater sources and their potential in producing value-added products. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3WPZjMc #WastewaterTreatment #CarbonCapture #Microalgae

🌍🌱World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought🌍🌱 Since 1994, June 17th has been dedicated to raising awareness about the urgent need to combat desertification and drought. As part of this global effort, we are proud to support sustainable solutions that address these critical issues. Desertification, often caused by deforestation, drought, and improper agriculture, threatens some of the most vulnerable ecosystems and communities. At Inciner8, we believe in making a positive impact by providing environmentally friendly incineration solutions that help manage waste sustainably, even in the most challenging environments. Our advanced incineration technology helps combat desertification by: ▶️Reducing the need for landfill sites, which can contribute to land degradation. ▶️Preserving soil health by producing sterile ash residue that can be safely used as a soil amendment, promoting soil fertility. ▶️Our Pollution Control Systems are used to capture and process emissions to meet global regulations, ensuring that harmful pollutants do not contribute to environmental degradation. By maintaining soil fertility and mitigating the effects of drought, our solutions align with the goals of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification. #Inciner8 #WasteManagement #CombatDesertification&Drought #Sustainability #WastetoEnergy #Landfill #UN

Prof Dave Goulson from Life Sciences has revealed the scale of pollution in UK waterways. A single teaspoon of the insecticide Imidacloprid “is enough to deliver a lethal dose to 1.25 billion honeybees. It’s concerning that our rivers should be awash with a potent insecticide”. The most widespread chemicals found are classic markers of road runoff. Farm runoff was another major source of contamination. Fluoranthene, which is very toxic to aquatic life, and Pyrene, were found in 80% of water catchments. Find out more below. https://lnkd.in/grbVDi2t

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰! The health of our planet and the basis of life depend on the vital relationship between #soil and #water. Over 95% of our food comes from these two essential resources. Soil water allows plants to absorb nutrients, acting as the lifeblood of the #ecosystem and sustaining #agricultural systems. However, #climatechange and human activities are degrading soils and putting pressure on water resources. Erosion upsets this balance, reducing water infiltration and availability for all life forms. To combat this, #Solidaridad promotes sustainable#soilmanagement through #regenerativeagriculture. Practices such as minimum tillage, crop rotation, and adding organic matter and cover crops improve soil health, reduce erosion, increase water retention, and combat #pollution. These methods also support #biodiversity, increase fertility, and sequester carbon, playing a vital role in mitigating climate change. Let's commit to protecting our soils for a sustainable future!

Who doesn’t care about faecal pollution these days? And the gastrointestinal infection implications reaching far and wide and even high profile events like the boat race? Don’t we all want to eliminate it? First we have to find out where it’s coming from, and it is different for every catchment with scope for stakeholders to point the finger at various sources. In the River Wye it's speculated to be the chicken farms, in the Thames area, all the overflows... The truth is, in most catchments it’s probably a mixture of multiple sources from the rural upper catchment and the urban lower catchment. Did you know that a detective microbial DNA technique does actually exist that can tell us if the faecal pollution, and the source of our tummy upsets, is from rural (probably agriculture) or urban (probably storm overflows) sources? It’s called Microbial Source Tracking (MST) and this recent Environment Agency blog acknowledges the valuable insights MST can provide. https://lnkd.in/ekQN9kJ7 Imagine if we knew, without categorical doubt, where the faecal pollution was coming from? Or the proportions of human vs animal based faecal pollution – then the regulators could enforce the polluter pays principle with greater confidence. We’d also all know that the big sums of money being talked about for “addressing river health” would be worth it and would actually improve our rivers (and we are all paying for it via water rates or taxes or whatever!). Isabel Douterelo has been working on the research needed to standardise MST techniques for river management purposes (https://lnkd.in/eZtiEZ9G), but I know she’s submitted various bids to research institutions and been turned down. She was also really keen to apply for the recent Environmental Monitoring Innovate UK campaign, but couldn’t find a commercial entity to lead the bid and team up with her as an academic. Yorkshire Water, seeing as you supported the MST and Citizen Science in Ilkley, would you be willing to run another version of this in my local catchment, of which I’m a citizen scientist? https://lnkd.in/e_QmE3bf There is a lot of speculation within the local citizen scientists about pollution sources from water company assets as well as agriculture. Running another MST monitoring programme would end the speculation and allow this technology to be further developed into a standardised authority-accepted monitoring technique to target our precious financial resources and get to the root cause of faecal pollution sources. We've also been collecting lots of Riverfly invertebrate monitoring and Angling Trust chemical water quality data which would be so valuable to add to the MST research.
