Today the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment released a report looking at how we monitor chemicals in the environment and interpret their impact on living things. The report looked at neonicotinoid insecticides, antibiotics, and the trace metal zinc as case studies, as well as how our own regulations may not address the issue. Joe speaks to Dr Jennifer Gadd, an aquatic chemist from NIWA on the matter.
