#MPsizeBase compiles published #microplastic particle size distributions (PSDs), obtained by optical microscopy, #FTIR, #Raman and #pyGCMS. We fit the PSDs with a power law, and extrapolate MP number and mass concentration to a common size range for intercomparison.
Ever wondered how we see the unseen? 👀Join us to explore the world of microplastics — from sampling to FTIR-based polymer ID 📷 📷 Reg. open till 10 Nov #Research #Sustainability #Microplastic

10 Million Tons of Plastic Enter the Ocean Every Year.
Plastic waste is the most visible component of ocean pollution. More than ten million tons of plastic enter the seas every year.

“If you are concerned about microplastics, the world starts to look like a minefield. The tiny particles can slough off polyester clothing and swirl around in the air inside your home; they can scrape off of food packaging into your take-out food.” #Microplastic #wtpEARTH
Love coffee dates ☕ but not the plastic in “paper” cups! Heat can release toxins into your drink 😬 Bring a metal mug next time—no plastic, no waste, just safe, delicious coffee! 🌿 @starbucks
