Monitoring of microplastics on the surface and in the water column
.
Waiting for World Water Day, researchers from the University of Siena, on a boat with Paolo Varrella, president of the Cooperativa Mitilicoltori Associati of La Spezia, are engaged in collecting samples on the surface and in the water column (action B.5.1) in the Gulf of Poets in Liguria. The analyzes - quantitative and qualitative - of the microplastics will allow us to verify the effectiveness of the solutions proposed by the project. Will plastic microparticles decrease as the dispersion of mussel farming socks decreases?
