📣New paper out today!
We’ve found concentrations of mercury in UK-harbour porpoises is increasing. 📈🐬
We also found concentrations of mercury were associated with an increased risk of dying from infectious disease.☠️

Temporal Increases in Mercury Concentrations are Associated with Increased Risk of Death by Infectious Disease in Harbour Porpoises (Phocoena Phocoena)
Trace elements, particularly heavy metals like mercury, pose significant risks to marine ecosystems due to their toxic and bioaccumulative properties. Concentrations in some marine species show concer...

Rivers are heating up faster than the air − that’s a problem for aquatic life and people
River heat waves are rising faster than the pace of air heat waves. That’s a problem for fish, drinking water quality, and food and energy production.
