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

A method to extract microplastics from river sediments (bed, bank and floodplain)

(Corresponding) Prume J., Schömann E., Chifflard P., Koch M.
Topic: 
Microplastics in the marine environment
Identifying and quantifying microplastics in the environment is fundamental to develop effective mitigation strategies. So far, microplastic research has focused on marine environments and large streams. However, smaller rivers, often adjacent to waste sources as agricultural areas and waste water...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
