Identification and Quantification of Microplastic in Sewage systems by TED-GC-MS

(Corresponding) Altmann K., Goedecke C., Bannick C., Abusafia A., Scheid C., Steinmetz H., Braun U.

Topic:

Microplastics in the marine environment

Over the last years, the number of publications reporting the amount of microplastic (MP) all over the world increased rapidly. But harmonised sampling, sample preparation and analysis strategies are missing. Commonly used methods are very time consuming and not comparable to each other. Hence,...Read more

Multivariate Analysis of Large µ-FTIR Data Sets in Search of Microplastics

(Corresponding) Wander L., Vianello A., Vollertsen J., Braun U., Paul A.

Topic:

Microplastics in the marine environment

µ-FTIR spectroscopy is a widely used technique in microplastics research. It allows to simultaneously characterize the material of the small particles, fibers or fragments, and to specify their size distribution and shape. Modern detectors offer the possibility to perform two-dimensional imaging of...Read more

Benthic megalitter detection using unmanned surface vehicle (USV) and Automatic Target Detection: A case study in the Port of Thessaloniki, Thermaikos Gulf

(Corresponding) Papatheodorou G., Kosmopoulou A., Fakiris E., Geraga M., Dimas X., Maurommatis N., Christodoulou D., (Corresponding) Kouvara K., Xirotagarou P.

Topic:

Microplastics in the marine environment

In the port of Thessaloniki, Greece, benthic megalitter detection was achieved using an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) equipped with a compact high resolution sidescan sonar (SSS) and a single beam echsosounder (SBES). The benthic megalitter survey was organized in two separate phases. Firstly, a...Read more

Morphological analysis approach to detect microfiber contamination in Mytilus galloprovincialis

(Corresponding) Volgare M., Santonicola S., Gentile G., Errico M., Castaldo R., Avolio R., Raimo G., Gaspari M., Colavita G., Mercogliano R., Cocca M.

Topic:

Microplastics in the marine environment

Microplastic pollution is a widespread threat for marine fauna. Mussels are good candidates for assessment of microplastic exposure in the environment because of their wide geographical and spatial distribution and their filtration system. In this work the 65% of analysed mussels assessed the...Read more
