MARINE PLASTICS PHYSICS LAB
Plastic is often dispersed in the sea, where it degrades into microplastics, with a huge impact on marine flora and fauna. In our physics laboratory we will present the latest spectroscopic techniques for the identification of microplastics and we will perform...
A PlastiQuiz on the impact of plastics in the marine environment
During the session, Carmelo Corsaro and Enza Fazio will use the kahoot platform to execute a multimedia quiz and engage the audience (who will answer questions with their smartphone). Furthermore, each quiz questions will be alternated with the projection of...
PLASTISPHERE: THE IMPACT OF PLASTICS FROM NEW PERSPECTIVE
Plastics represent the main source of litter in the oceans; as any other artificial and hydrophobic surface, can be exploited and colonised more or less rapidly by organisms that, over time, can give rise to authentic biocoenosis. The term “plastisphere”...
Lightweight design: “green” design for the sea of the future
The “green” design approach is essential for the construction of lightweight structures and sustainable mobility. The use of lightweight materials is an innovative aspect of this approach; it allows the replacement of classic materials with new materials....
I eat fish… Am I eating microplastics?! Biological cell damage of microplastic pollution on living organisms
Plastic pollution is a global concern. It is widely documented that mussels, fish and marine turtles eat microplastics from the environment, and these may reach human being final consumers of seafood. But which are the biological consequences of microplastic...Calendar
