Characterization and toxicity assessment of industrial microplastics made of Bakelite

(Corresponding) Kalčikova G., Rozman U., (Corresponding) Skalar T.

Topic:

Microplastics in the marine environment

Microplastic research has focused mainly on particles made of polymers from ordinary consumer plastic products while industrial plastics has been largely overlooked. However, industrial plastics as Bakelite can be of a great importance due to their extensive use and unknown impact on the...Read more

Microplastics in marine biota of North Aegean Sea: Summarizing and comparing preliminary findings

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

Tackling single-use plastic items in the Mediterranean

(Corresponding) Xirou H., Sherrington C., Bapasola A.

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
