"Plastisphere - the holistic approach and numerical description of microplastics surfaces"

(Corresponding) Dąbrowska A.

Topic:

Case studies of macro- and microplastics pollution in coastal waters and rivers

The aim of this research is to discuss the current state-of-art, basic data and the methodology for the quantitative and qualitative physical and chemical characterisation of the marine microplastics (MMs; polymer debris < 5 mm) and the Plastisphere. In particular, the surface of synthetic...Read more

Affordable multi-spectral imaging system for the identification and classification of microplastics from the environment

(Corresponding) Konde S., Gonnade V., Brackmann S., Nguyen J., Schneider M., Loeschel L., Lott C., Weber M., Koch M.

Topic:

Case studies of macro- and microplastics pollution in coastal waters and rivers

Studies on microplastic pollution commonly use expensive spectroscopic methods such as FTIR spectroscopy or Raman spectroscopy. Alternatively, studies could also employ cheaper methods such as optical microscopes, which are prone to errors. Here, we present an inexpensive and simple multi-spectral...Read more

Citizens' awareness and education for tackling microplastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems

(Corresponding) Rodrigues C., Ribeiro A., Silva N., Silva A., Gravato C., Ribeiro C.

Topic:

Case studies of macro- and microplastics pollution in coastal waters and rivers

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous and persistent contaminants, particularly in river sediments reaching high abundances with potential to impair ecosystem functions and services of great importance to humankind. Thus, monitoring programmes and public awareness are pivotal to implement mitigation...Read more

Photoluminescence spectroscopy on commercially available plastic products

(Corresponding) Konde S., Brackmann S., Hüppe F., Koch M.

Topic:

Case studies of macro- and microplastics pollution in coastal waters and rivers

Commercially available plastic products are produced for specific applications. They represent polymeric compounds, i.e. base materials mixed with various types of additives such as pigments. The identification of the plastic type is the key goal in microplastics analysis but also the key process...Read more
