Evidence of chicken and other livestock contaminated with lead well above the threshold for 'acute toxicity' has triggered calls for urgent regulation of mines in Wales ft.com/content/83329c…

Three different mines, three different histories, one thing in common - sustained input of metals into rivers. My latest paper is now out in the Journal of Hydrology, looking at #Nantymwyn, #Frongoch and #ParysMountain metal mines: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Over 100 years since the closure of mines in Wales, they're still polluting rivers. Lead pollution doesn't just go away by itself without active remediation efforts.

I'm looking forward to discussing metal mine pollution at this session tomorrow!

Pollution from hundreds of old metal mines could be affecting public health, an expert says bbc.in/4a647BP

It was a pleasure to be part of this panel to share insights from my research into metal contamination. There’s still a lot of important work that needs to be done to study this issue and support the affected communities across Wales

200,000 people in Wales live near land contaminated with heavy metals, MPs told. Stephen Crabb says “whole set-up just isn’t fit for purpose for dealing with this problem and the scale of it." Adds: "It’s really concerning what we’ve heard". ft.com/content/7afd48… via @ft

Welsh government facing "urgent" calls to tackle risks posed by abandoned metal mines in Wales amid warnings of a potential "environmental and public health scandal" in the country. Committee has written to ministers warning the current system "has failed to deliver.”

We are deeply concerned by what we have heard about metal mine pollution in Wales. Unless urgent action is taken, the issue has the potential to become an environmental and public health scandal. Read our letter to the Welsh Government 👇 committees.parliament.uk/committee/162/…

This is a full circle moment for me - a Voice of Young Science workshop got me interested in and gave me the tools to start sharing my research, and I’m looking forward to helping others get started!

So excited to have written an article for The Conversation!

I’m so honoured to have been chosen as the recipient of this award! Policy impact work is never easy but is incredibly important, so it’s amazing to be recognized for it

Thank you Private Eye Magazine for giving me such a great platform to discuss how lead from abandoned mines, old pipes and paint in our houses, could be poisoning hundreds of thousands of children a year here in the UK. open.spotify.com/episode/4nBhxS…
