Environmental lead risk in the 21st century - Communications Earth & Environment Substantial environmental lead contamination continues today contributing to an annual global economic loss exceeding $3.4 trillion through contemporary childhood lead exposure, according to a review of lead sources, possible pathways into the environment, and human exposure in the 21st century.

⚠️ A @nature.com review article led by ESE has concluded that urgent policy intervention is needed to prevent a large-scale resurgence of #lead exposure, with severe economic impact estimates.

Mine waste shows promise as battery material | Imperial News | Imperial College London Waste mine tailings could be used to produce more sustainable lithium-ion batteries, find researchers at Imperial College London.

πŸ”‹ Research by ESE & the Dyson School of Design Engineering at Imperial has found that waste mine tailings (the fine waste material left over from mineral extraction) can be repurposed for #LithiumIonBatteries, with little to no processing required!

Life's ingredients could have formed near Jupiter | Imperial News | Imperial College London Researchers have proposed that the building blocks of life may have originated in a turbulent region near Jupiter, not exclusively deep out in space.

πŸš€ A new study led by ESE that analysed the ancient asteroid #Ryugu has proposed that the building blocks of life may have originated in a turbulent region near Jupiter, not exclusively deep out in space.
