Every fortnight, the ENDS team runs down the biggest green news stories, shines a spotlight on some pretty nasty chemicals, and takes a forensic look at one of the more deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.

In this seventh episode, the team explores:

• Why the Environment Agency has downgraded huge numbers of potential pollution prosecutions
• The slow but steady rise of clean air zones
• How pine martens have been conscripted into a war against grey squirrels
• The pharmaceuticals contaminating rivers and wildlife
• And why your sofa might not be your friend
