Plastic debris

Plastic debris in urban area and freshwater
Research projects on plastic debris have been launched in 2014 in by Johnny Gasperi and Bruno Tassin. Since 2020, this research field is advised by Bruno Tassin, Rachid Dris, in collaboration with Johnny Gasperi, presently member of Gustave Eiffel University staff. Plastic litter (> 5 mm) and microplastics (< 5 mm) are both considered.
The specific aims of these projects are the study of the sources, the fluxes and the fate of plastic debris in urban area and in freshwater continuum, from river to estuary.
