Bangladesh: Emerging Pathogen Found in Chicken Meat
May 6, 2025, Chittagong, Bangladesh: Chittagong, Bangladesh: A chicken is butchered in a Bangladesh meat shop. A newly identified and highly infectious bacterium, Escherichia albertii, has been detected in broiler chicken meat in Bangladesh. Closely related to E. coli, this variant is more dangerous, linked to severe gastrointestinal illness, kidney complications. In Japan, E. albertii has been linked to multiple mass food poisoning outbreaks, affecting over 100 people at a time. E. albertii has been found to be antibiotic resistant.

From sewage and scum to swimming in 'blue gold': how Switzerland transformed its rivers.
From sewage and scum to swimming in 'blue gold': how Switzerland transformed its rivers.
In the 1960s, the Swiss had some of the dirtiest water in Europe. Now, their cities boast pristine rivers and lakes - and other countries are looking to follow their lead.
This hasn't always been the case. In the 1960s, Switzerland had among the dirtiest water in Europe, blighted by mats of algae, mountains of foam, scum, and dead fish floating on the surface. For decades, swimming was banned in some rivers such as the Aare and Limmat on health grounds.
Now, Switzerland is leading the world in purifying its water of micropollutants: a concoction of chemicals often found in bodies of water that look crystal clear.

'Live sick or flee': pollution fears for El Salvador's rivers as mining ban lifted
The landmark prohibition on mining in 2017, a world first, has been reversed by authoritarian leader Nayib Bukele but the move has met fierce resistance from environmentalists.
On 23 December, its congress voted to overturn the ban on metals mining, a move championed by the hardline president, Nayib Bukele, who is prioritising economic growth over environmental concerns.

Seascape: the state of our oceans 'It's nonstop': how noise pollution threatens the return of Norway's whales
Recordings by biologist Heike Vester reveal how oil and gas exploration as well as cruises, fishing boats and even whale-watchers are adding to the din underwater.
Heike Vester at home in Bodo, Norway. Her love of whales comes partly from her interest in matrilineal societies. She lives right on the water.
Vester has made hundreds of recordings from the sea in Vestfjorden over decades.
Recordings made with the hydrophone, analysed at Vester's home in Bodo, indicate a significant rise in noise pollution in the region.

'Waste has value': how surfing helps Colombia solve its plastic problem
The Amigos del Mar has found a way to help Tierra Bomba island clean up its beaches - and get children back to school.
Amigos del Mar has set up the Olas Paz programme (known as the Clean Wave Project in English), transforming the thousands of plastic bottle caps that pollute Tierra Bomba into surfboard fins.
In Tierra Bomba, plastic bottle caps, bags, wrappers, toys and other plastic waste constantly washes up on the white sand beaches, where it accumulates due to the lack of adequate waste collection services.

'We empower ourselves': the women cleaning up Bolivia’s Lake Uru Uru
Once clean enough to drink, the Andean lake was poisoned by mining pollution and urban waste. But now Indigenous women are using giant reeds to revive the vital ecosystem.
Fed up with the ever-increasing pollution, the sisters Tatiana and Dayana Blanco and other young women formed the Uru Uru Team in 2019.
The first step was to clean the water. Their forebears used totora and so they decided to do the same. As well as being used to build floating platforms and houses, totora is important for treating sewage and mining wastewater as it traps minerals in its roots, leaves and stems.
Dayana and Tatiana Blanco members of the Team Uru Uru - a group of young indigenous women who came together to clean up Lago Uru Uru [Lake Uru Uru], Bolivia. Mining and plastic waste is dumped there. The waters are contaminated but the women create rafts out of plastic waste and plant totoro on them to clean the water.

How a monk and a Hippo joined forces to tackle Bangkok’s plastic pollution
Desperate to restore the Chao Praya River to a pristine state, an abbot in the Thai capital began recycling in his temple. Now he has a floating ally in his efforts to clean up the river.
The Chao Phraya River is the largest waterway flowing through central Thailand.
In Bangkok, it is an artery for a network of water buses, ferries and wooden long-tail boats. But it's not just carrying people. According to research by the Rotterdam-based non-profit organisation Ocean Cleanup, the Chao Praya River carries 4,000 tonnes of plastic waste to the sea every year.
Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, walks through Wat Chak Daeng on July 30, 2024 in Bangkok. The HIPPO project by Seven Clean Seas, in collaboration with Wat Chak Daeng temple, uses a solar-powered vessel to collect plastic waste from Bangkok's Chao Phraya River and recycles it to reduce environmental pollution. Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, leads a project at Wat Chak Daeng that turns plastic waste into monk robes, upcycling around 40 tons of plastic since 2015 and serving as a model for environmental conservation.

How a monk and a Hippo joined forces to tackle Bangkok's plastic pollution
Desperate to restore the Chao Praya River to a pristine state, an abbot in the Thai capital began recycling in his temple. Now he has a floating ally in his efforts to clean up the river.

'Your plastic is here': how Easter Island copes with 500 pieces of rubbish an hour washing ashore
One of the world's most remote populations must deal with a flood of multinational plastic, much of it tossed overboard by the factory fishing ships hoovering up sealife just offshore.
About 2,300 miles west of central Chile, Easter Island (also known as Rapa Nui) is among the most remote spots on Earth - and among the most polluted.
It is estimated that 50 times more plastic washes ashore on these beaches than on the Chilean mainland, largely a result of the vast spiralling current known as the South Pacific gyre.

No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
Yorkshire Water says it has spent more than £100m in recent years improving local processing facilities.
Meanwhile, the sewage keeps coming. A massive discharge near Blackpool on Tuesday comes after 69,000 such events last year across the UK’s north-west from United Utilities. Yet the company still found the money to pay £300m in dividends to shareholders.
MICHELLE BUCKLY , who organises the Swim Blast sunset sea swimming group, on the beach in Blackpool . Blackpool Council have said that swimmers should not swim at beaches along its coast after raw sewage was released in to the Irish Sea , reportedly as a consequence of a storm , earlier this week
