It's great to see research led by our own atmospheric scientists featured in @thetimes.com, @dailymail.co.uk, and @newscientist.com! Our researchers are also set to appear on BBC Radio 4's Inside Science later today.

Thanks to The Conversation for publishing a piece about my research on 'forever chemical' TFA sources.

Chemicals brought in to protect the ozone layer have spread vast quantities of a potentially toxic ‘forever chemical’ around the globe, reveals a new study led by our researchers 🧪

Fantastic venue for the first UK Atmospheric chemistry conference in The Guildhall York. An excellent opportunity to bring UK atmospheric chemists together and hear about the breadth of current research in the field.

Today we made history. Countries have come together & agreed the new Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste and Pollution that will provide the 🌍 with robust, independent science. Environmental multilateralism delivering again, #ForPeopleForPlanet. www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

The first measurements of TFA in UK rivers have revealed concerningly high concentrations. This highlights the need for wider monitoring of TFA in the UK.

Changing the PFAS definition could exclude concerning chemicals such as TFA and F-gases containing -CF3 groups. These substances share the same problematic C-F bond which gives PFAS their extreme persistence, so should remain classified as a PFAS, as they are under the unambiguous OECD definition.

Excited to present my work on TFA production from long-lived source gases (refrigerants and anaesthetics) at EGU next Monday morning (28th). Come and chat from 11.15 for a first look at the latest modelling results. meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

The delayed 2024-5 UK REACH work programme has finally been published, showing progress on controlling and restricting harmful chemicals in the UK is still stalling. In 4 years of operation, the UK has not restricted a single substance. buff.ly/cBgm3Yf @endsreport.com @shoshaadie.bsky.social

Registration is open for the ECORISC CDT conference on the 11th-12th June 2025. This is a great opportunity to hear about the exciting work done by ECORISC students, and to network with ECORISC students, academics and partners. ecorisccdt.york.ac.uk/2025-confere...

After one year of the Bradford clean air / low emission zone, GP visits for breathing and heart problems were down by a quarter. My latest for @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Exciting new project with the ExaGEO Doctoral Landscape Award for October 2025 entry. Opportunity to join the vibrant Atmos group at Lancaster University studying air pollution during heatwaves through ultra-high-resolution modelling. Details and to apply here: www.exageo.org/phd-student-...
