✨ Another Before & After from @LABPLAS_H2020 !

🔬 Before:
No standard SNMP methods
No QCL-IR for airborne MPs
Few road dust/run-off studies
Limited MP mass data

🧪 After:
Validated methods for all matrices
QCL-IR for air
MP+additives in road dust
Mass quant via Py-GC/MS

🌊 Love the ocean? Show it!

This summer, protect marine life with 4 simple actions:

🚫 Don’t litter (pick some up!)
🐠 Respect marine life
🛶 Don’t toss anything overboard
🎁 Skip souvenirs made from sea creatures

🌊 Last week, @LABPLAS_H2020 made waves at the One Ocean Science Conference and the UN Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice, France! 🇫🇷

We brought microplastics science to the global stage — because protecting our oceans starts with understanding what’s polluting them. 🧪🌍

[LabPlas EU Project @LABPLAS_H2020]

🌊 The ocean speaks — in waves, in silence, in warning signs.

At @LABPLAS_H2020 , we’ve traced the journey of microplastics and remain committed to stopping them before they reach the sea.

💙 This #WorldOceansDay, stand with us.

🌍 Today on #WorldEnvironmentDay, @LABPLAS_H2020 reaffirms its mission to tackle microplastic pollution.

We develop scientific tools to trace plastic in soil & water and support EU #ZeroPollution goals.

🔬 Science for a cleaner, healthier planet.

[LabPlas EU Project @LABPLAS_H2020]

🔬Plastic pollution isn’t invisible — but it used to be undetectable.

After 4 years of science & innovation, @LABPLAS_H2020 unveils its Legacy Document on micro- & nanoplastics (≤100 µm).

📘 Science. Tools. Policy impact.
