A @JPIOceans research project developing analysis techniques for quantifying #nanoplastics + #microplastics and their degradation in the marine environment.
Are you interested in tackling plastic pollution from lab to field?
Then join our partners at BME for our unique hands-on 'M4 Plastics' workshop this October, delivered in collaboration with Plastic Cup Society & supported by the @EUSDR

A new paper has just been published on #microplasticpollution and #misinfornation by our colleagues at @MaREIcentre!
Read "Marine microplastic pollution & misinformation in the public sphere: a systematic review" through the tweet below 🎉🎊
Trees take up water and nutrients through their roots; but also nanoplastics! We investigated if water use strategies can play a role, and how anthropogenic pollution can place more stress on physiology. Read more in our recently published manuscript here: https://t.co/jneCq5OQHo
For those who did not received their hard copy of our recent technical report, 'Science Communication and Marine Plastic Pollution: Perspectives on the (mis) Communication of Microplastics', it is available to access at the following link!

For her PhD research, Nelle Meyers (#VLIZ, @ILVOvlaanderen, @GhEnToxLab) developed a new semi-automatic method for the detection and identification of marine microplastics - combining fluorescent Nile Red staining with machine-learning. The method proved reliable for most polymer types, also weathered plastic particles down to a size of 4µm. Congrats Nelle with the brilliant work! More on https://t.co/l5U4oHTyKu

A reminder to our followers that our ANDROMEDA website is now no longer active! But fear not, we shall be migrating to the @jpioceans website in the coming months where you will be able to access a range of materials produced from the project 🎊🎉
Our newest #openaccess@Response_JPIO publication 📑 'Weathering increases the acute toxicity of plastic pellets leachates to sea-urchin larvae—a case study with environmental samples' is now available to read from the below link! 🎉🎊
