Mapping Microplastics and Types in Hong Kong Rivers and the Pearl River Delta

Led by Professor Iseult Lynch, Professor of Environmental Nanosciences and Professor Stefan Krause, Professor of Ecohydrology and Biogeochemistry.
In collaboration with the University of Hong Kong, this project aims to sample microplastics gathered from the six major rivers of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta (a major sources of plastic pollution worldwide). This will be the most comprehensive mapping ever undertaken, with data then used to model the environmental impact and how it can be averted.
