Description
The PLASTOX final report identifies the ecotoxicological impact of microplastics, persistent organic pollutants, and associated metals on key European marine species and food webs. PLASTOX presents the results of employing an experimental method that accounted for a wide range of microplastic contaminants on multiple organisms, from plankton to birds, in order to present environmentally relevant findings.
