This article builds off of our new open-access paper published in ES&T Letters with many wonderful co-authors at the forefront of this field (doi.org/10.1021/acs.es…)! #tires #PlasticsTreaty #tyres #6PPDQ #EnvironmentalChemistry
Current regulations don't adequately address these concerns, so we’re calling for international regulation. This could be accomplished with strong rules around chemicals of concern in the Global Plastics Treaty, which is being negotiated next week in Geneva.
I am excited to share our new op-ed out today in The Conversation (theconversation.com/car-tires-are-…)! A growing body of evidence shows that tire additives and their transformation products are contaminating ecosystems and showing up in people. @rachelcscholes @eSTORM_lab
Great to learn more about the project and see behind the scenes in the lab 🥼 Find out more about this research here: apsc.ubc.ca/news/2023/ubc-…
Great to visit UBC Applied Sciences today! They’re doing important research to identify and mitigate hot spots of salmon exposure to toxic road runoff, supported by the BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund 🐟
So glad I got the opportunity to present my research on "soil amendments for organic contaminants degradation in bioretention systems" and represent @eSTORM_lab at #CSC2024 in Winnipeg last week!😊 🙌
We have a new paper out (bit.ly/3TStBOh) showing how we can design #RainGardens to protect people, plants and animals from a wide variety of toxic chemicals! @rachelcscholes @amandagiang @CLJohannessen @eSTORM_lab (1/4)
Congratulations to our post doc @MMirzaei92 on the publication of her paper looking at the role of high salinity on #PFOA treatment in #IEX regeneration #wastewater. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
The STREAM project features on a @GlobalBC segment. @PJReporter interviews @rachelcscholes and @vannevarmorgan re our work on #6PPDquinone and #salmon globalnews.ca/video/rd/4e2c0…
UBC-led initiative protects salmon against toxic road runoffs 🛞🛣️🌧️ In this Q&A, @ubccivil professor Dr. Rachel Scholes and postdoctoral researcher Dr. Timothy Rodgers discuss 6PPD-quinone and the role of rain gardens in defusing its impacts: bit.ly/3tkDmdy

Some scientists think they have cool projects...but how many of them get to do fieldwork on a MASSIVE HOVERCRAFT?!! Scholes Lab PhD student Jeff goes out water sampling on the @CoastGuardCAN hovercraft, the Moytel.
We've just started an Instagram account for the STREAM project. If you like looking at dead fish or people in waders, give us a follow! instagram.com/stream_project… #6PPDQ #BCSalmon #TireWearParticles
Our new project is STREAM (Salmonid Toxic Runoff Exposure & Treatment) bitly.ws/34IH5 This DFO funded project will identify hotspots of salmon exposure to the newly discovered salmon/tire toxin 6PPD-quinone. We will also design new treatments using green infrastructure.
Yanru & Cayla's presentations at the CWRA conference this week! 👏🎉
Also: Aishwarya (@aishwaryaxdas) received the best presentation award in 3MWT for her talk on "iron amendments for TrOCs degradation" at @west_conference !! Cheers 🎉
Yay! Check out this cool new paper by our lab🥳
Yay! Check out this cool new paper by our lab🥳
Day #2 of @west_conference: Our master's student Aishwarya presented a 3 Minute West Talk on her current research, "Iron-Based Soil Amendments for Trace Organic Contaminant Degradation in Constructed Wetlands."
