Marmara D., Vogiatzis G., Christofidis C., Stamelos A., (Corresponding) Krasakopoulou E.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Rising scientific literature and legislation measures have highlighted the concern on plastic pollution and the issue of microplastics. In the context of this study, 3 marine species of commercial interest (bogues, Mediterranean mussels, blue crabs) were examined, concerning microplastics’ presence...Read more

Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Overall, plastics are estimated to account for around 95% of the waste in the open sea, on the seabed and on beaches across the Mediterranean. In the Mediterranean, it is estimated an annual plastic leakage of 229,000 tonnes, made up of 94% macroplastics and 6% microplastics [1]. The scope of this...Read more
Low molecular weight polymers in aquatic environments as pollutants of emerging concerns: recovery, quantification and microstructure
(Corresponding) Giannattasio A., Iuliano ., Oliva G., Giaquinto D., Capacchione C., Korshin G., Barcelo D., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V., Buonerba A., Grassi A.
Topic:
Citizen Science in Environmental Monitoring
Microplastics and, more in general, synthetic polymer debrides of anthropic origin are accumulating in the environment, in particular in marine water and sediments, with risks associated for aquatic organisms and humans not well wholly understood. In this contribution it is reported a new method...Read more
