We are recruiting a PhD candidate at the University of Cincinnati to study environmental organic chemistry, with particular interest in either fate transport or environmental photochemistry

Yesterday I was happy to present the analytical challenges I have been facing during my Master's project concerning the sorption analysis of imidacloprid and hexazinone onto microplastic particles. #WorkshopMicroplasticsINCTAA

@CerasiUrban@LatinXChem@marimaridias @ScientistCami @CassianaMontag1 Thank you, @CerasiUrban! Your question is about how environmental microplastics would interfere on the experiment or how I would choose the environmental samples? I have started some preliminary experiments with environmental samples. First, I chose environmental samples with
@CerasiUrban@LatinXChem@marimaridias @ScientistCami @CassianaMontag1 different characteristics. Then I am performing their physical chemical characterization. About the presence of microplastics in the environment I include some controls in the experiment, such as controls without microplastics to follow how pesticides concentration decrease.
@MarcoTGrassi@LatinXChem@marimaridias @ScientistCami @CassianaMontag1 Hi, @MarcoTGrassi! Both PS and PE are virgin ones. The results are the average of a triplicate. Indeed, there are very high uncertainties. I believe it's because we had to work in concentrations low enough to detect sorption but
@domingues_lqa@LatinXChem Congrats for your work, Ramon! It is very important to understand the best way to monitor microplastics in wastewater. Thereby, we can perform other studies to answer further question on the fate of these particles.
@LatinXChem Hello, @LatinXChem community! My major is in Pharmacy, but I've always had interest in environmental issues! So now I am an Analytical Chemistry MSc Student at @unicampoficial working with Environmental Chemistry 🌎
