Offer Description
Plastic production in the last 65 years has far surpassed any other type of material. The presence of microplastics in natural water bodies such as rivers and seas is caused by inputs from various sources. The assimilation of microplastics (< 5 mm) by living organisms at the base of the food chain increases the risk of absorption of harmful substances even by those species in the highest positions, therefore, ultimately, also by humans. In the more urbanized areas, the contribution due to the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) which collect the runoff water from the roads and used water is not negligible. The research grant fits into this context with the aim of monitoring the fate of microplastics in the treatment chains.
