And that’s a wrap! It’s been a pleasure to host these wonderful people at University of Leeds and Geography at Leeds for our Wohl Clean Growth Alliance workshop on emerging #contaminants in agro-ecosystems. I look forward to seeing new collaborations and research projects emerge from this 🚜

Check out the webinar series by the Plastics, Ecosystems, and Public Health (PEPH) program Northwestern, hosting me to discuss our recent advances in evaluating the impact of microplastics on aquatic environments (special focus on the Mediterranean Sea): northwestern.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Microplastic risk assessment in marine environments should integrate critical factors such as their abundance, acidification potential, fragmentation, and toxicity. Our recent study shows that polypropylene-often used in food packaging-is highly hazardous: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If you watch just one video, please watch this (to the sound of Biden's speech - turn up the volume).

The shocking claim recently heard around the world as if the matter of the massacre committed by Israel's enemies is a "political" matter about which different opinions can be expressed within the framework of freedom of speech must be fully rejected. There's no bigger mistake.

Check out our latest publication in Environmental Science & Technology Journals suggesting the use of a MnO2-coated gas-permeable membrane for efficient (and direct) radical delivery to water! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

The concept of circular economy is fascinating, also in a research setting: we recently suggested a two-step process utilizing mucin-based biomaterial, by which gold is being adsorbed from wastewater and transformed into a useful nano-catalyst! #ESNANO pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

What joy to be working with these incredible scientists and learn about their work at Tel Aviv University on nanomaterials. Thank you Andrey, Ines and Noa!

We are delighted to announce Environmental Science: Nano’s Nanocircular economy collection! This collection highlights the opportunities for nanomaterials to underline advancements in circular technologies and resource flows. Read the collection here: 🔗 rsc.li/NanocircularEco

Check out our research paper on transforming gold from wastewater into a catalyst, published in Environmental Science: Nano as part of the Nanocircular Economy collection

New Publication Alert! We explore how Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D) can revolutionize microplastic risk assessment by uncovering mechanisms of plastic interactions in the environment. 🌍🔬 Check out our review with Moshe Herzberg sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Microplastic effects on native plants remain largely unexplored. Our new research found that while plant growth was not affected by microplastic exposure, seed germination was significantly reduced! with Michal Grutman Check out sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
