COAST-ASSESSMENT

SUBPROJECT 1

Assessment of emerging contaminants, micro-plastics and nanomaterials from sources to coastal environments 

1. Coordination of the whole project INTEGRA-COAST (Damià Barceló)
2. To assess the occurrence, fate and behaviour of micro plastics, NMs and selected emerging groups of pollutants (perfluorinated alkyl substancs, siloxanes, personal-care products)  from rivers to coastal areas (Marinella Farré)
3. To evaluate the ability of micro-plastics and selected NMs to be bioaccumulated in filter feeding organisms and their significance as vector for transferring pollutants, with special attention to selected emerging contaminants (Marinella Farré)
