PLENTY Plastics Research Platform

📢Do you consider yourself an expert on #microplastics and want to share your thoughts on the causes and consequences? 🗣️ Then take part in our new study (small drawing task & survey; laptop needed): m-tool.awi.uni-heidelberg.de/studies/45082e…

Today @thueffer from @EDGE_Vienna successfully defended his Habilitation on "Interactions of xenobiotics with microplastics and carbonaceous materials in aquatic and terrestrial environments" Well done Thorsten!🥳

While climate chaos intensifies, #ClimateAction has stalled. #COP27 is critical – but we have a long way to go. Every government, every business, every investor, every institution must step up with concrete plans to keep the 1.5 degrees goal alive. The world can’t wait.

Thrilled to announce that I just started as a #tenuretrack Assistant Professor @univienna. Very much looking forward to researching, teaching, mentoring in this great environment. So grateful to mentors, students, colleagues, friends, and family for their support - Thank you!!

Microplastics can enter wastewater along the entire value chain. How can it be removed efficiently? Our #Factsheet No. 5.1 presents the findings of the @BMBF_Bund research project #EmiStop: bmbf-plastik.de/en/node/380

It‘s time for a bold & binding @UNEP #PlasticsTreaty comprising a cap on virgin #plastic production, #ExtendedProducerResponsibility and full transparency of the chemical composition of #plastic products or upcoming alternatives! This benefits our health, biodiversity & climate!

Am 31. August, 19:40 Uhr läuft im TV-Kanal @ARTEde die Sendung "Re: Schwimmen gegen #Plastikmüll". Ein TV-Team hat Professor Andreas Fath bei seinem diesjährigen „Schwimm-Marathon im Dienst der Wissenschaft“ in der #Donau begleitet. Unbedingt anschauen!

Wer vermisst dies?

We are excited to start preparations for next year's workshop at Monte Verita, Switzerland! Save the date for November 12 - 17, 2023 #microplasticsworkshop #microplastics

Just in time for the #UNOceanConference2022, we published key messages of the German Research Focus "#Plastics in the Environment". Find the handy short version here: ➡️bmbf-plastik.de/en/Publikation… #UNOC2022 #marinelitter #plasticpollution

Unser @Hofmann_Lab zum Thema Sonnencreme und ihre schädlichen Effekte auf Korallen im @ORF tvthek.orf.at/profile/Mayrs-…

Great in-person seminar talk by Subhasis Ghoshal from @mcgillu on Nanoparticles for Efficient Delivery of Agrochemicals in Crop Plants and the subsequent discussions on related challenges and opportunities

Congratulations to @Hofmann_Lab for his just received award as lifetime honorary member by the German Water Chemical Society 🥳

The @EDGE_Vienna Crew had a great #SETACCopenhagen 🥳 We met lots of cool people and presented our research on chemical pollution, microplastics, water soluble polymers, wildfires and biochar..

Das war der #cleandanube Day in Wien - Das Video und Fotos zur Nachschau: mikroplastikfrei.at/cleandanube/ @RheinesWasser @BOKUvienna @univienna @Purency_ #mikroplastik #donau #schwimmen #pollution #plastics #mikroplastikfrei #umweltschutz #SDGs

Save the date: International Conference on #Microplastics in #Soils on 19 and 20 October 2022. umweltbundesamt.de/en/service/dat…

It's #SETACCopenhagen time! @magdalenammair @SchottBio @analeticiav present today their research @SETAC_world! Don't miss their posters 7764, 7748 & 7705! 7764 - Challenges in developing a standardized #risk assessment for #microplastics & #nanoplastic particles @magdalenammair

It's already been a week since @RheinesWasser stopped at Vienna and Prof. Fath & @thueffer came out of the water at Donaukanal. The water samples that can be seen on this picture with Prof. Fath, @Hofmann_Lab and @thueffer are currently being analyzed by PLENTY!

"Evidenced-based decision making: Between knowledge and values" Super interesting panel on challenges and future directions of science and science communication with @Ulrike_Felt, @Hofmann_Lab and many more @univienna. And this location - I mean... @NHM_Wien @EnvPsyVienna

Spannende Diskussion zum Thema "Evidenzbasiertes Entscheiden-Zwischen Wissen und Werten" im heutigen #UmweltimGespräch der @univienna im @NHM_Wien
