Topic: 
Microplastics in the marine environment
Microplastics (MPs) extraction from sediment, sand and soil samples is a challenge that the scientific community is facing nowadays; currently there are no standardized and validated protocols and the most common methods rely on density separation techniques, often unable to separate high density...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
