New @AWI_Media study shows that small ingested #microplastic translocates into muscle tissue, i.e. the fillet of European sea bass 🐟 (= seafood)

The CLAIM #pyroliser in action!
The demonstration of the pyrolizer was carried out successfully at the @StampaCnr marine station🎥Watch and see how plastic litter is collected!

Fantastic to see our paper published in Science today a superp team effort emphasising the urgency if we are to halt plastic pollution. Evaluating scenarios toward zero plastic pollution science.sciencemag.org/conte….

Important new paper modelling the quantities & distribution of #microplastic from car tyre & brake abrasion via the atmosphere.The remote #Arctic seems an important receptor region which is in line with high microplastic levels that we found in Arctic snow

The #MissionBoard delivered its interim proposal for a #MissionOcean to #Regenerate our Ocean and Waters by 2030. Read the draft report here:
ec.europa.eu/info/news/top-e…
The Board will further refine its independent recommendation with European citizens until September #EUGreenDeal
#EUmissions will be crucial for Europe’s transformation into a #green, #healthy & more resilient continent for all.🇪🇺
Today Mission Boards proposed potential missions for further consultation with Europeans.

Calling all #microplastics researchers! See below! We are looking for datasets with all microplastics chemically ID'd and all data available in the Supp Mat. We promise it will be used to answer useful questions 🙏
#Microplastics Twitter! Does anyone know of any papers where every single particle in a sample was chemically identified, and the results are available in the SI? @ChelseaRochman

Interesting! This might be the first use of the term micro-plastics, in 1990!

Many don't realize that a "paper" takeout coffee cup is actually single-use plastic. Here is a great visual for all to see! THIS is why it cannot be thrown in your blue bin in most cases. @UofTTrashTeam

What happened to the plastic in the Mediterranean? PhD researcher Mikael Kaandorp just completed an inverse modelling assessment and found a 50/50 split between plastic beaching and sinking, with only a small fraction remaining afloat. See topios.org/mediterranean.htm… for the preprint

What are #microplastics and how do they interact with the marine #environment and its inhabitants? This new #publication highlights the important role of 4⃣ #research projects funded under the framework of @JPIOceans More info & link to publication 👉bit.ly/3c7vBK8

⚠️The highest ever #microplastics level found at the bottom of the ocean is transported by bottom currents 🌊 that can control the distribution of #microplastics and create hotspots of up to 1.9 million pieces per square meter 😱.

The test being used to diagnose the novel #Coronavirus other pandemics like AIDS and SARS—was developed with the help of an enzyme isolated from a microbe found in marine #hydrothermalvents as well as freshwater hot springs. #scienceresponds

"The difficulties of detecting microplastics have caused many labs around the🌍 to develop different ways to study these plastics. The many different methods make it challenging to compare studies between labs."
That's where our BASEMAN project comes in!👉bit.ly/2uRdV4W
