🌍 Acabamos de publicar un nuevo artículo en Microplastics desarrollado en el marco del proyecto PlasThreat. Se analiza por FTIR ATR la ingestión de plásticos en pollos de pardela cenicienta de Tenerife 🐦. La gran mayoría había ingerido fragmentos plásticos.

Visita a los laboratorios de la UNED con la Dra Pilar Fernández! Disponer de un nuevo equipo micro-FTIR con capacidad de identificar y caracterizar partículas de microplásticos (MPs) de hasta 5 micrómetros supone un salto cuantitativo en nuestra capacidad de análisis de MPs en las aves estudiadas. 👍

Understanding light preferences of Procellariiformes

A novel paper investigates the behavioural preferences of both fledgling and adult Cory’s shearwaters ( Calonectris borealis ) to different light stimuli and evaluates this behaviour against the...

Hoy estuvimos en la radio de la @uned.bsky.social explicando nuestro proyecto #PlasThreat sobre el impacto de la contaminación marina por plásticos en #seabird Atent@s!! El 1 de febrero se emite. Ya avisaremos con los detallas!! @csic.es y UNED juntos!

Ya se puede escuchar el programa en: rtve-mediavod-lote3.rtve.es/resources/TE... Esperamos que os parezca interesante : -)

💥For the first time in history there is a dedicated session on #PlasticPollution and Human Rights at the Sixtine Chapel of #HumanRights 🧵 At #HRC66 the Advisory Committee will present a report to the 🇺🇳 Human Rights Council #PlasticsTreaty READ ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies...

#Plastic - the bad #PublicHealth news just keeps coming Although you'd have to ask, why wasn't this #PlasticPollution considered earlier? www.earth.com/news/tea-bag...

Tea bags release millions of plastic particles during brewing

Polymer tea bags release billions of plastic particles during brewing. They interact with intestinal cells, even entering the nuclei.

#PlasThreat project Researchers from MNCN @csic.es, IQOG @csic.es, UNED & GOHNIC collaborate to assess the impact of #marine #plasticpollution on a #seabird, Cory's #shearwater, exploiting the #CanaryCurrent. This marine region is strategically important for #Spain & #Europe.

Cory’s shearwater as a key #bioindicator of #plastic #contamination in the North #Atlantic. We studied 1,238 deceased birds over 8 years! Read the paper 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.en...
