This policy brief summarises the project findings and addresses some of the still remaining knowledge gaps in the #microplastic and #nanoplastic research field.

Our MicroplastiX project #policybrief on #plasticpollution and the #plastisphere is now available as an open source document #Zenodo: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… Photo by @lacerdanalu @jpioceans

Aaron Beck, @GEOMAR_en and Coordinator of the #HOTMIC project, is now presenting some of the key outcomes of the six projects funded through JPI Oceans. @Andromeda_EU, @microplastix , #HOTMIC, @RESPONSE_JPIO, #iplastic, @JPIOceansFACTS. #JPIOceansMicroplastics

You can follow the schedule and have access to the presentations on: ebcd.org/events/hybrid-…

🚀 We are now officially kicking off the “Small particles, big concerns: Marine Microplastics revisited” event at the @Europarl_EN, Room PHS 5B1! 👉 Link here to participate online: ebcd.webex.com/webappng/sites… #JPIOceansMicroplastics

Dr Robin Lenz io-warnemuende.de/robin-lenz-en.… new #opensource Spectral #Dataset of the MicroPlastiX project is avaliable: radar-service.eu/radar/en/datas… and the visual tool can be accessed here: microplastix-specdb.streamlit.app

for contributing to the advancement of scientific research in Europe and elsewhere, with particular focus on micro and nanoplastics

And to disseminate more our results, like we are going to do in this event today with the European Parliament. We take this opportunity to thank @jpioceans and the teams in all the other projects @Response_JPIO, @Andromeda_EU, i-plastic, @JPIOceansFACTS and HOTMIC

We are about to join the JPI Oceans "Small particles, big concerns: Marine Microplastics revisited" with the European Parliament, and this could not be a better moment to share the tool developed by Dr Robin Lenz (@IPFDD) and available at: microplastix-specdb.streamlit.app
