2.1 CRC 1357 Microplastics

2.1.1 Vertical distribution of microplastic particles in alluvial soils

Description: You will determine the amount of microplastic particles on soil samples taken in different depths in s profile in Merkenich-Langel (Cologne).

Goal: Visualize the vertical distribution of MPs and correlate them to soil properties to understand possible vertical migration of particles.

Methods: \(\mu\)-FTIR spectroscopy

Contact: Hannes Laermanns, Markus Rolf

Particularities: Lab work partially to be done at the University of Bayreuth (Dr. M. Löder)
