Unlocking the Potential of Active Biomonitoring Tools in Microplastics Analysis: Maximizing Scope and Application

Home institution: Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale, LOG, Dunkerque, France

Synopsis

In recent years, the proliferation of microplastics in the environment has raised concerns about their impact on ecosystems and human health. As the need for effective monitoring and analysis methods grows, active biomonitoring tools have emerged as promising approaches in microplastics research. This webinar delves into the diverse array of biomonitoring tools available for microplastics analysis, ranging from their potential use and development to assessing suitable biological organisms. We will explore the capabilities and limitations of these tools, discussing their applicability across various environments and ecosystems.
