Partners of the LABPLAS project recently attended the 2024 SETAC conference to showcase their respective research progress to address plastic pollution. Todd Gouin – Enviro Research Presented a model depicting relative risks of microplastic particles being vectors for plastic additive chemicals. Based on the findings, it appears that environmental releases of these chemicals from consumer…
For some time now an ever-growing amount of research has been dedicated to microplastic pollution in the marine environment. The H2020 LABPLAS project broadens the focus by studying the presence and impact of microplastics at the environmental dimension of rivers and their relation to the overall sea fluxes. During the 2024 General Assembly Meeting of…
In the fight against marine plastic pollution, scientists and policymakers are constantly looking for new technologies to detect and monitor the problem— as well as reduce it. An innovative tool named POS2IDON has been unveiled through the EU LabPlas project, which could change our approach towards monitorization of marine plastic debris. POS2IDON is an advanced…
