Dead crustaceans washing up on England’s north-east coast may be victims of industrial revival

A mass die-off of crustaceans occurred on England’s north-east coast last autumn – the government’s explanation of the cause is unlikely to be true.

Please read; the most important piece I've written. Mass poisoning has suddenly killed off most sea life for 30 miles by the Tees. The govt claims it's natural; ind scientists warn it's manmade. The govt is desperate not to inquire too deeply as its freeport policy is at stake.

One of the greatest #EnvironmentalCatastrophes in Britain in recent times: a #MassExtinction of #MarineLife in the North Sea off #Teesside.

A 30-mile section of the coast has been turned into a marine desert by toxic #pyridine released by dredging.

Researchers solve the problem of functionalizing pyridine in the meta-position

In chemicals used in agriculture, as well as in pharmaceuticals and a variety of materials, pyridines are often found as so-called functional units that decisively determine the chemical properties of substances. Pyridines belong to the group of ring-shaped carbon-hydrogen (C-H) compounds ("heterocycles"), and they contain a nitrogen atom (N). For chemists, the direct functionalization of the carbon-hydrogen bonds (C-H bonds) of pyridines is a straightforward approach to designing and modifying complex molecules, including in the final stage of the synthesis sequence.
