If you "degrade" #microplastics below the analytical threshold, you are just making #nanoplastics. The plastics half-life of 50 years is then only the fragmentation time! We observed a similar amount of micro and nanoplastics (by mass) in Dutch Wedden Sea.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157371

The abstract submission to the #EGU23 (Vienna) is still open for a couple of days. If you work on #microplastics and #nanoplastics (measurement, modelling, change, exposure, transport, toxicity, leaches, additives...) you might want to consider our session:https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/46927

If tire/tyre wear particles (TWPs) weren’t bad enough now they’ll be combined with #microplastics & #nanoplastics ⬇️

ARE BABIES IN THE WOMB AT RISKS?

Following the discovery of #microplastics in the human placenta, we took a step further by evaluating for the first time the potential risks of #Nanoplastics in the human placenta to fetus.

Our new documentary on #nanoplastics in the #snow from the #Alps is out (3sat TV). We sampled close to #Rauris at Sonnblick Observatory (3106m a.s.l). It is based on our paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2021.117697 The video is available: https://www.3sat.de/wissen/nano/221214-sendung-nano-102.html (go to 13:30min) #microplastics

#introduction and reach out. My research team has great expertise in making plastic particles. Not only do we study their fabrication and unravel their heterogeneous polymerization mechanisms, we also study how they behave in liquids and where/how they are used in commercial products. #plasticpollution #microplastics #Nanoplastics #polymer #colloid #academicmastodon #PlasticTreaty #plasticwaste

This will make it so difficult to monitor trends in #Plastic pollution after implementing interventions thru a #PlasticsTreaty: how much pollution will be due to continuous fragmentation of legacy plastics and how much due to new pollution?

If a 1mm #microplastic decomposes into 10nm #nanoplastics, how many particles do you get?

One quadrillion particles!
