📢New Publication! "The dark side of artificial greening: Plastic turfs as widespread pollutants of aquatic environments"🌿
We have found that artificial turf fibers account for up to 15% of the meso- and macroplastics in rivers and sea surface waters!

MERCADANA
¿Recordáis cuando Juan Roig, dueño de Mercadona, echó a un chico de una tienda en Valencia por echarle en cara que tenía a sus empleados trabajando en plena Dana?
Sólo han pasado unos días. Pues estos son trabajadores suyos atrapados por la DANA de Málaga.⬇️

This week I presented preliminary work at the #Micro2024#plasticpollution conference in Lanzarote about a probabilistic Lagrangian numerical model we have developed at coastal scales, to assess the impact of floating marine litter on Barcelona's city beaches.

Microplastic pollution is an environmental and public health crisis, with little action being taken. A new @ScienceMagazine review by @ProfRThompson and colleagues is outstanding

Beware plastic netting in lawn and wildflower turf - advice for anyone starting a new lawn area, shop around and insist on rolls that don't use plastic mesh in them, it is a total nightmare longterm! Also pollutes soil. Pls spread the word... https://t.co/gtY6whOrZF
