Microplastic in the marine environment
Period: November 2019 till October 2022
Status: Completed
Cost-effective detection and identification of small micro- and nanoplastic, and quantification of current (and future) concentrations in different environmental compartments. Assessment of effects at individual and population level. Quantification of the additional stress due to plastics in an already (multi-)stressed marine environment (e.g. chemical pollution, climate change, ocean acidification).
