Exciting to share our recent article in Water Research. Our finding showed that Australian biosolid is heavily polluted with #microplastic that can make their way into our farmlands. doi.org/10.1016/j.watr…

I’m happy to announce that I have been awarded the #SETAC_AU Science meets Parliament 2024 Ambassador Award. Looking forward to discussing our #microplastic research with policymakers in Canberra.

Plant leaves have been found to be effective in capturing atmospheric #microplastics . Check out our recent paper published in Environmental Pollution sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It was a pleasure to give a keynote speech at the 1st Nano and Microplastic Australian Conference Need to tackle microplastics – News news.flinders.edu.au/blog/2024/03/0…

A great day at Science Meet Parliament event at Australian Parliament House. It was a pleasure meeting with MP Meryl Swanson MP to discuss the issue of #microplastics and #policy implications. Grateful for the opportunity to advocate for informed decision-making in this area.

It was a great pleasure to meet with Australia's Chief Scientist (Dr Cathy Foley) at Australia Parliament House and discuss the importance of #microplastics research in Australia.

💡 Our scientists have read through the revised draft text ahead of the #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty meeting in Ottawa. ☝️ We developed a response that provides science-based input for negotiators based on our collective expertise. ➡️ Read here: ikhapp.org/material/respo… Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty

It was a great honor to receive the QLD Young Tall Poppy Award yesterday.

🎉 Excited and honoured that my Uni of Exeter's ESI and Plymouth Marine Lab #PhD has been selected as a finalist in the University of Exeter Knowledge Exchange Awards 2024 with Exeter Innovation! Looking forward to seeing the other finalists and hearing the results in October ☺️ #ExeKEAwards24

Our new paper investigates the transport of #microplastics from biosolids to Australian agricultural soils and discusses the challenges in detection of smaller #microplastics in complex samples Environmental Science & Technology pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

A team led by Shima ziajahromi of Australian Rivers Institute Griffith Science & Environment Griffith University provides the first evidence of the occurrence of #microplastics down to 1 μm in agricultural soils in Australia, where #Biosolids are used to augment #SoilQuality. ES&T: go.acs.org/aR7
