Project Overview

This project will enable us to understand the problems of microplastics in the marine environment. Especially individual species toxicity, food chain transfer, and microplastics influenced ocean acidification. The combined effects of all these process would disturb marine biodiversity and food chain. Additionally, the rate of transfer of co-pollutants by microplastics could be derived
