Implementing Ecopharmacovigilance in Practice: Challenges and Potential Opportunities
When a new drug is placed on the market it is universally recognised that all the potential side-effects, both positive and adverse, will not have emerged during the extensive clinical trials.

Ecological Indicators for abandoned metal mines
Metal mining in the UK has occurred for thousands of years and was widespread during the 18th and 19th centuries. This activity has resulted in a legacy of abandoned metal mine sites across the UK. We were recently commissioned by the Environment Agency to undertake a project to investigate whether conventional EQS are suitably protective of aquatic life in waterbodies impacted by abandoned metal mines, or if higher metal concentrations than the EQS can be acceptable in these waterbodies without risk to aquatic life. Importantly, we were asked to explore how these instances could be accommodated within the WFD to enable the status of the water body to be correctly classified. The results of this project are now available to download.
