Two sites on the tidal Thames were sampled; one upstream of the City of London at Putney, and the other downstream at Key words: Greenwich. Water column samples were collected from Plastic pollution June through to October 2017, being taken on the ebb and Thames Tideway flood tides, at the surface and a depth of 2 m. Surface Water Microplastics (excluding microfibres) were identified to Combined Sewer Overflows test whether the load varied between the two sites in relation to tide, depth and season. Secondary microplastics, films and fragments, contributed 93.5% of all 1 those found at Putney and Greenwich. Site, tide, depth and month affected density, with the combined interaction of month and site found to have the greatest influence on microplastics. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis showed that polyethylene and polypropylene were the most common polymers collected from the River, suggesting broken down packaging was the primary source of microplastics in these samples.

This was to bring together relevant background material and to cover progress with the investigation and such facts as have been established to this point. The MIIB said that this progress report would not constitute the ‘initial report’ required by Terms of Reference 6, since some of the main facts have yet to be established. This progress report is a stepping stone towards the initial report. The report describes the incident and the nature of the site and surrounding communities and the initial responses by EA and HSE.

    Third Round Updating and Screening Assessment for Thurrock Council June 2006 Third Round Updating and Screening Assessment Thurrock Council Acknowledgements The assistance of Dheshnee Nadar and Mark Gentry from Thurrock Council is gratefully acknowledged in the production of this report. 2 Environmental Research Group, King’s College London Thurrock Council Third Round Updating and Screening Assessment Executive Summary The role of the local authority review and assessment process is to identify areas where it is considered that the government’s air quality objectives will be exceeded. The Thurrock Council has previously undertaken the earlier rounds of review and assessment (R&A) of local air quality management and identified areas where the objectives are exceeded and where there is relevant public exposure. As a consequence, it has designated Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) across its area. This report concerns the third round Updating and Screening Assessment. Local authorities are required to review and assess air quality against the objectives in the Air Quality Regulations 2000 and the amendment regulations as part of a rolling three-year cycle ending in 2010. The air quality objectives to be assessed are for the following seven pollutants: carbon monoxide, benzene, 1,3- butadiene, lead, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and particles (PM10). This report provides a new assessment to identify those matters that have changed since the last review and assessment, and which might lead to a risk of the objective being exceeded. The report follows the prescribed guidance given in technical guidance LAQM. TG (03) and the additional advice provided by DEFRA (as Frequently Asked Questions) for the purposes of this round of R&A.
