Key Results JPI Oceans Microplastics Projects 2016-2019

Abstract

After three years of dedicated microplastics research, four projects (BASEMAN, EPHEMARE, PLASTOX and WEATHER-MIC) funded under the framework of JPI Oceans have presented their results. The projects focused on defining baselines and standards for microplastics analysis, understanding the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics and their associated pollutants, and investigating the weathering of plastics in marine waters.
