For the PlastTrack project, it is crucial to clearly understand our current standing and the value we can bring to ongoing research around plastic pollution. We know it is a growing issue, and micro- and nanoplastics have not been investigated thoroughly. Around 70% of the marine litter in the Baltic Sea is plastic, where microplastics

The FS ALKOR, operated by GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel, took several of us on board. The aim was to test setups and equipment for sampling micro- and nanoplastic particles from the Western Baltic Sea. In bright sunshine at 8 o’clock, the ship first took the course to Bocknis Eck to
Yesterday, we met with all the partners of PlastTrack at GEOMAR in Kiel. We had a lot to discuss regarding the detection of micro- and nanoplastics. The discussion covered topics like sample preparation and purification, particle sizing, and various approaches to identify and characterize plastics. Each partner had a different viewpoint on the detection process,

I starten af projektet sikrede vi, at alle involverede var orienteret om projektet ved at definere ansvarsområder og afslutte alle de nødvendige formaliteter. Vi er glade for, at alle er om bord, og at vi kan komme videre med vores planer. Da vores team var på plads, begyndte vi at fastlægge referencematerialer. Det er et
