Toxic shock: the nasties lurking in the sewage sludge being spread on UK fields

Eco Chamber

Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories, and take a forensic look at one of the deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.

In this week’s episode, the team explores:

• The Office for Environmental Protection's landmark legal action on how the government implements its statutory requirements to restore and improve the environmental condition of waterways.
• Northern Ireland's new environmental improvement plan published after more than a year-long absence.

And for the news-in-brief section the team learns:

• Why the communities secretary approved housing in Cambridge despite water supply issues.
• The pesticides in our foods
• And the appointment of a new climate envoy.

For this week’s deep-dive the team brings you an ENDS' exclusive on the sewage sludge fertiliser spreading toxic PFAS on our crops and soil.
