Surface characteristics of different #Microplastics (MP) influence the selective enrichment of distinct microbial communities which impact #Biofilm development & MP degradation potential. #PlasticPollution The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) ACS ES&T Water cover story: go.acs.org/c2a

Exactly

Super important methodological implications for studies on #microplastics in humans, which currently tend to overestimate microplastic levels if Pyrolysis–Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry is used, especcially for fatty tissues. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Back in time: June 2018 - beach sampling... wearing crocs? 😂

Antarctica and its surrounding ocean regulate our climate, store carbon, and support life globally. As #ATCM47 kicks off today in Milan, it’s time to act decisively to protect this vital region, for nature and for humanity. asoc.org #ProtectAntarctica

Today the 27th Meeting of the Committee for Environmental Protection (#CEP27) began in Milan, with the participation of nearly 450 delegates from state Parties to the Protocol and intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations. 🇮🇹 🇦🇶 #Antarctica #AntarcticaProtected
