Welcome to ‘from the archive’, the IES audio series bringing you environmental science analysis and insights taken from the archive of past articles written by IES members, stakeholders, and staff.

Today’s article was written by Joseph Lewis and Ethny Childs in November 2023. With the long-awaited UK Chemicals Strategy yet to be published, and ongoing conversations about the future role of a global science-policy panel on chemicals and pollution, the article reminds us of the importance of a strategic and integrated approach to addressing chemicals, pollution, and environmental contamination.
