Microplastic assessment in aquatic environments:
- Collection of water, sediment and organism samples from aquatic environments
- Characterization of biofilm community isolated from microplastics through 16S & 18S rRNA amplicon Next Generation Sequencing
- Toxicity assays (LC50)
- Microplastic processing and counting in laboratory settings, avoing airborne microplastic contamination
- Data analysis of microplastic content in environmental samples
