🔍🏭 Read the latest blog from Hannah Calder, our Environmental Air - Market Development Manager, to find out how the US EPA’s first independent field evaluation of its PAMS network (Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations) is progressing. ✔️ A total of 28 PAMS sites participated in the initial proficiency test, and the Markes-Agilent system performed exceptionally well. The system measures all 63 compounds listed under the EPA’s PAMS, even though not all those compounds are compulsory to monitor. ✔️ The independent trials demonstrated that the Markes-Agilent system has 100% target compound coverage, very low levels of instrument bias and excellent precision between replicate measurements. 🖱️ Click here to read Hannah’s full bog ➡️ https://loom.ly/9K4zsy8 #airpollution #environmentalscience #thermaldesorption #GCMS

Contamination of the aquatic environment, caused by the presence of heavy metal ions and oils, is a growing concern that must be addressed to reduce their harmful impact on living organisms and safeguard the environment. Do you know aerogels, their properties, and their uses? What can we say about their possible application for environmental remediation? In this review, resulting from an important international collaborative work and published on Gels MDPI, the latest advances in water treatment using new bio-based aerogels are exposed.

For those interested in a deep dive on policies that could better protect the public from dangerous chemicals in consumer products my latest story for EHN focuses on regulating chemicals by class. Maricel Maffini Ted Schettler, Health Care Without Harm, Mark S. Rossi, Toxic-Free Future Washington State Department of Ecology and others are doing important work to advance this regulatory approach. https://lnkd.in/eAstF-p4

Under the umbrella of  Horizon Europe's Soil Mission, JRC.D.3's EU Soil Observatory (EUSO) organised a 2-day workshop (24-25 July 2024, in Ispra) on the sharing of data and knowledge related to #soil #pollution and #remediation of #contaminated sites. A dozen stakeholders, notably from the Mission Soil Projects dealing with soil pollution (ARAGORN EU, EDAPHOS, ISLANDR Horizon EU), together with representatives from DGs ENV and DG AGRI, Mission Projects Soil Health Benchmarks (indicator development) and SoilWise Project (EUSO data and knowledge platforms), and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN and CENELEC) Technical Committee on 444 (Environmental characterization of solid matrices), met to discuss how EUSO and the IPCHEM platform could be used to support the harmonisation of procedures, data and knowledge relating to both diffuse soil pollution and contaminated sites. The meeting addressed the interoperability efforts that would be needed to allow for a seamless discovery, harvesting and sharing of relevant data and knowledge to ensure new data flows from R&I projects, Member States and the EUSO, especially in the context of the forthcoming Soil Monitoring Law. By facilitating exchanges between linked projects, a proposal will be made to establish a Soil Mission Pollution and Remediation Cluster, which will be co-chaired by the JRC.

It was such a pleasure, both personally and on behalf of ARAGORN EU, to meet the great team from DG JRC, the EC, CEN and Soil Mission sister projects EDAPHOS, ISLANDR Horizon EU, Soil Health Benchmarks, and SoilWise Project during the DG JRC workshop on monitoring and data needs. Despite the Italian summer heat, the conversations were lively and the energy high in discussing the forthcoming EU Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law (SMRL). Discussions ranged from sampling and monitoring strategies to assess the ambitions to #remediate and reduce #soil #pollution with the goal to improve #SoilHealthAndResilience - to how such data can be stored and shared in a FAIR, cost-effective and fit-for-purpose way, serving the needs of both land managers and authorities. The bigger question is how the protections goals set for #SoilHealth can be aligned with other #EuropeanGreenDeal ambitions of #Biodiversity protection, #ClimateChange mitigation, #CircularEconomy, as well as #FoodSecurity and a #JustTransition - while being implementable at the local level. In any case, this is just the beginning of a journey to develop the #SMRL development process, put forward by the EC, and supported by the EU Council and the EU Parliament - which we in ARAGORN EU is excited to take part. Thanks also to the great inputs from @Naila Hina (ETHZ/ARAGORN) and Nathalie Briels/ARCHE for inputs on the Soil Threshold values, and to Anna Kärrman/Örebro University and Eirik Aas/EUROFINS for inputs on prioritization of pollutants for a future Soil Watch List - as well as the whole great ARAGORN EU team!
