Microplastics are now recognized to be a global contaminant of concern, with the volume of both public attention and academic research on the topic steadily increasing. With a life span of up to 450 years, microplastics materials can persist in the environment for centuries and will eventually degrade into smaller pieces referred to as micro- and nanoparticles, entering the ecosystem and causing harm to marine life.
This series of on-demand webinars is designed to help you overcome common microplastics testing challenges in your lab. Understand the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on marine life, the complexity of marine microplastics as carriers of chemical burdens, and recognize the importance of necessary measures for quality assurance and control.
