Our last paper on #plastics in #riverbanks is out in @elsevierconnect.bsky.social We found that riverbanks showed higher MA density than other compartments, with river embankments causing one-way #macroplastic transport from banks to river. Here the link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

8 million tons of plastic is ripping through the oceans like tornadoes https://www.europesays.com/us/455216/ Microplastics have become a major concern, not just for the climate but also for human health. The pollutant…#us #news #usnews

Our #review is out now! 🎉 💧 We revealed the occurrence, sources, and behavior of #microplastics and #nanoplastics across #urban water systems, assessing effectiveness of physical separation and chemical/biological degradation technologies. Led by @sgundogdu.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

🎉 Glad to share with you our last paper on #plasticentrapment by #waterHyacinth 🌿 We revealed a historical retention of macroplastics in #invasive aquatic vegetation. 🔗 Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #ecology #academia @scinews.bsky.social @elsevierconnect.bsky.social #research

🎉We're glad to share our latest paper on #microplastics in #bees with you. 🐝What about #pollination hindered by MPs in urban and rural sites? 💥Great collaboration with @abdaltunisik and @Damia_Barcelo Read it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #research #Academia #AcademicBluesky

Following 10 days of negotiations, #INC5 talks to develop a global #PlasticsTreaty adjourned on 15 August in Geneva without consensus on a text of the instrument. Negotiations will resume at a future date to be announced: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Honoured to be an invited #researcher at @INCPoland to visit @maciejliro.bsky.social and his team. 🍃I shared my research lines and my work in @riparianet through my #workshop on #plastic transport and retention in #rivers 🏞️ 🙏🏼Thanks for this unique experience in #Krakow and surroundings!

🎉 Happy to share our last review on #alien #crayfish in transitional and marine waters. 🦐 Procambarus clarkii found in marine waters in central #Italy #sea. ⚠️ #Invasive crayfish may threaten those new invaded habitats. What about this new #invasion pathway?

🎉Glad to work together with @maciejliro.bsky.social on #plastics trapped by woody jams in the Aniene river in central #Italy. 🪾Here we found that #macroplastics retained by woody jams can be higher that accumulation due to other type of #vegetation. #research #academicchatter #rivers

🏞️ #EGU25: Glad to present our last results on #plastic retention by riparian #vegetation across #European #rivers from #Riparianet project. 🙏 I thank all the colleagues to provide many feedback and questions! Keep in touch for collaboration! 🔗 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/EGU25-...

Water for the planet 🌎 Water for nature 🐸 Water for people 👪 There can be no life on Earth without clean water. The EU is reviewing rules to improve water quality by reducing pollutants. End goal: #ZeroPollution by 2050. 🔗 europa.eu/!qdGdRM #WorldWaterDay

#WorldWaterDay With over 450 scientists, I am standing up for safe and #cleanwater in #Europe. We urge @EU_Commission, @EUCouncil, and @Europarl_EN to address increasing #pollution in EU’s freshwater ecosystems in upcoming negotiations and #WFD.

🔬New research highlights #microplastics in #tadpoles (0.01 MP/ind), adults (1.52 MP/ind), and habitats of three water #frogs of Pelophylax spp. 🏭Interestingly, elevated quantities of MPs were identified in areas with considerable human activity, such as #İstanbul.

💀 #Microplastics are everywhere, but now also in our #skeleton! 📝Recent #research reveals that MPs accumulate in #human intervertebral discs, #bones, and cartilage. ⚕️What about any #health implications? 🔗https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412025000674 #humanhealth @who.int

Interesting (sad) new research reveals that nano and #microplastics can be accumulated in #human brains! Authors also found an increased MNP concentrations over time in both liver and #brain samples. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SundayScience @nature.com

Terribly hot. #January2025 was the hottest January on #record since 1940 and likely the hottest January in the last 120,000 years, at 1.745°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline. #Drought, #floods, #foodsupply: what about the consequences of this 1.7°? #climatechange #Science

🎉Happy to share with you one of my last #PhD paper - just accepted for publication on @elsevierconnect.bsky.social 🍃We applied the three-dimensional vegetation index (3DVI) to #plasticentrapment by #plants. 🔗Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #macroplastic #paper #research #openaccess

We urgently need a #PlasticTreaty, adding all possible #threats from contaminants to #mitigation actions. How might it be effectively possible? #plasticstreaty #stopplasticpollution #plasticpollution

📏 #Harmonization in #macrolitter and #macroplastic studies is pivotal to comparing results and providing insights to mitigate #plasticpollution. Here, 🏞️ we provided a harmonized protocol for sampling macrolitter in vegetated #riverine #habitats. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

💧 Water has been my element since I was born. Today, as a researcher in #freshwater #ecology 👨‍🔬, my primay focus is monitoring water health and #plastic pollution 🏭. My main goal is to provide valuable insights on water quality for riverine ecosystems 🚰. #plasticpollution #science #research
