Project description:
Climate-induced changes in Arctic environments will have strong impacts on the distribution of microplastics (MPs) and need to bestudied. The aims are: a) quantification and identification of MPs <100 ?m (small MPs, SMPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), b) identification ofbioindicators and assessment of SMPs’ stress markers; c) assessment of pollutants carried by SMPs; d) investigation of changes on stressmarkers and microbiome due to SMPs, e) evaluation of SMPs as vectors of pollutants and bacteria
