F.A.Q.
If your question is not covered here then don't hesitate to reach out
We work on a global scale. Our team is currently based across the UK and Asia, giving us a broad geographical reach and the ability to develop and support projects internationally.
As you can see from the projects featured across our website, our work has taken us from the Arctic to the Antarctic, as well as across Europe, Asia and other regions in between.
We are always open to new locations and collaborations, so wherever you are in the world, we would be happy to hear from you.
There is no simple answer, as much of what we do is tailored to the needs, scale and objectives of each project. Costs can therefore vary depending on the research, training, equipment, location and level of support required.
The best place to start is to get in touch with us. We are happy to discuss your ideas, requirements or potential project in person or online, with no cost or obligation for an initial conversation.
As a not-for-profit organisation, any funds generated through our services are reinvested back into Healthy Earth to support our research, education, innovation and wider environmental initiatives.
While our primary research focus is on micro- and nanoscale plastic pollution, our work extends across a much broader range of environmental pollutants and environmental challenges.
We work across all major environmental compartments, including soil, sediment, water and air, applying our research, monitoring and analytical expertise to better understand the occurrence, transport and impacts of pollutants in the environment.
Our interdisciplinary approach also allows us to adapt our methods and technologies to emerging environmental challenges and new areas of research.
We both hold PhDs and have many years of experience conducting environmental and scientific research across the globe, contributing to internationally recognised research projects and collaborations.
Our backgrounds combine academic research with extensive practical experience in environmental monitoring, fieldwork, technology development and education.
For those interested in exploring our scientific publications and other research outputs, our work can be found through academic platforms such as Google Scholar and ORCID, where our research contributions are recorded.
We welcome all levels of involvement. Whether you want to help spread the word, make a donation, sponsor an initiative, contribute your skills, collaborate on a project, or even join us on a research or environmental expedition, there are many ways to get involved.
Every contribution helps us expand our research, education and environmental initiatives.

An NGO is a non-governmental organisation, broadly these are independent organisations that operate separately from government and typically works to address social, humanitarian, environmental or community issues.
Healthy Earth is an environmental NGO that uses research, education and innovation to understand environmental challenges, develop practical solutions and support positive environmental change. We are a registered charitable business with a non-profit model registered in England with Companies House.
At present, Healthy Earth operates primarily as a self-funded organisation. We also participate in collaborative research initiatives, many of which are highlighted throughout this website, working alongside universities, research institutions and other organisations.
We have also partnered with external organisations to deliver environmental education and training, making use of shared facilities, expertise and resources.
As Healthy Earth grows, we are actively seeking funding, donations, partnerships and collaborative opportunitiesthat will allow us to expand our research, education and environmental initiatives and increase their impact.
