The Laboratory technicians will show different tools for the microplastics detection in environmental samples.
The participants will be able to do the extraction of microplastics from contaminated sea water and beach sand samples by using specific filtration systems as sieves of different sizes and filter plates, and then watch them under the microscope.
Activity carried out in collaboration with the following projects and grants:
