Desalination, water, and war

Attacks on civilian systems, including water systems, must be condemned and punished under the laws of war.

As consumption of antibiotics has risen around the world, so has antibiotic pollution of rivers. A model identifies the rivers most likely affected and the drugs most likely to be found in the water. In PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Environmental exposure levels of antibiotics in global rivers. Total risk quotient is calculated as the sum of individual risk quotients of all 40 antibiotics in the global river system under low-flow conditions.

Voor alles een eerste keer. Een live tafelgesprek op nationale televisie is best wel spannend maar ik denk dat de boodschap over hoe weerbaarder worden tegen droogte duidelijk was. Terugkijken kan hier vanaf minuut 23: www.vrt.be/vrtmax/a-z/d...

A study in Nature Food assesses the future climatic suitability of global croplands for 30 major food crop types, quantifying the changes in potential food crop diversity given climate conditions across four global warming levels. go.nature.com/3Dp5LEk #foodstudies 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows the lowest global warming level that would push current crop production into considerable risk.

Pollution isn’t just out there, it’s inside us! Recent research indicates that human brain tissues contain about 7 g of microplastics, roughly the weight of a plastic spoon! Individuals diagnosed with #dementia had up to 10 times more microplastics in their brains. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪
