UBC’s Cluster for Microplastics, Health and the Environment brings together a highly interdisciplinary group of scholars aiming to ultimately support the development of informed policies regarding plastics pollution. https://t.co/i1bzlTXpw8 #UBCMicroplastics
It was a pleasure to attend and present at the #EMSL user meeting. I listened to great presentations, discussed atmospheric science and toured the EMSL facility. Thanks for the organization @EMSLscience!
Are #microplastics a new source of INPs?❄️
Our newly published paper in ES&T explores how #microplastics influence freezing🌨️and how atmospheric aging☀️affects their behavior. @EnvSciTech@UBCChem

Happy to share a recent paper I co-authored: Cost-Effective and Wireless Portable Device for Rapid and Sensitive Quantification of Micro/Nanoplastics | ACS Sensors @ubcLFS@UBCChem@ubclifesciences@HongKongPolyU

Our iSCAT microscopy paper is out now in @acsnano! 🎉 We've integrated electrophoresis on the coverslip for more controlled nanoparticle detection. Our sampling strategy on polystyrene nanoparticles reveals accurate concentration and size measurements.

#PDAResearchDay2023 is officially kicking off. Looking forward to a day of learning about the research conducted by our #postdocs@UBC. Congratulations to the @UBCPostdoc for putting this event together.
@UBCGradSchool
Great presentations by researchers from the @UBC microplastics cluster discussing the effect of #microplastics and #nanoplastics on cloud formation and new characterisation techniques @SeattleAquarium
“The 10 leading #singleuseplastic producers contribute to over 50% of the market,” says @IssifuI70288116.
This eye-opening point was among the many discussions at the @UBC's Cluster for Microplastics, Health and the Environment symposium.
