Transport of MiP in the vadose zone and leaching of microplastic to groundwater
Objectives:
It is the goal of this project to identify transport parameters (sorption, degradation, MiP size, soil water fluxes) of MiPs in different vadose zone sediments and to develop a transport model for predicting the leaching of MiPs.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 955334.
