PLASTICS IN BIOFILMS

The main aim of the Plastics in Biofilms Consortium is to highlight the relevance and promote the investigation of plastic pollution in fluvial biofilms. Consortium for the investigation of the dynamics of plastic particles in fluvial systems... In particular, we focus on the stream biofilms and investigate how biofilms can act as hot spots of temporary MP retention... Our final aim is to understand the complex interlinks between the fate of MP and the structure and functioning of fluvial biofilms, to contribute to assessing and finally reverting the ecotoxicological impact of plastic pollution in rivers and streams.
