Just a thought. If it's “very persistent, mobile and toxic”, why not ban it *while* "the Environment Agency is working with AGC Chemicals to further understand potential concerns about the presence of EEA-NH4 in the environment so that appropriate action can be taken.”

I received this flood alert on my mobile some time ago. Strange for me because even though I live adjacent to #Dockyard, it's #zone3 #London, and I can't imagine #flood in this area.
Now all sorts of WH #questions have crossed my mind since then. Not because I have never seen a flood, but vice-versa. I have seen it a lot growing up in a remote village in #Bihar, and almost every year since then, till college -- irrespective of my location.
