Thanks to support from the Natural Environment Research Council Newton Fund, the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) has been collaborating with the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, in Beijing, China since the beginning of 2016 on the topic of chemical pollution in China.
We contributed towards research published in Ecosystem Health and Sustainability that looked at chemical pollution in the rivers to the east of Beijing draining into the Bohai Sea to determine which metal poses the greatest risk to the region’s freshwater ecosystem.
