Description
| The overall objective of the AquEus project is to understand the fate and impact of environmentally realistic MPs and NPs and also of novel bioplastics at micro and nano scales on selected model aquatic organisms, in order to contribute to hazard assessment and environmental risk assessment of these emerging pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. |
