MINAGRIS at the World Congress of Soil Science
We were very pleased to share an overview of the MINAGRIS project at the recent World Congress of Soil Science, with an audience of around 300. The presentation was given by Dr Charlotte Chivers, who is part of our dissemination and exploitation team. Download the slides here.
Webinar on the effects of microplastics on human health
Our very own Esperanza Huerta Lwanga presented in a recent webinar on the effects of #microplastics on human #health!
Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/erRV3a2F
The webinar covers:
- What microplastics are and why we should care.
- Effects of Microplastics on Human Health
- How to mitigate and control the negative effects on microplastics on our personal #health & #environment.
Review of microplastic sources, transport pathways and correlations with other soil stressors: a journey from agricultural sites into the environment
A new publication in Agricultural Systems, including several authors from the MINAGRIS team, has found that there is high contamination of microplastics, and there are different sources and concentrations which vary according to the type of land- management. It is, therefore, important to understand the different processes which take place in microplastics dispersion in the agricultural systems.
