How to solve the problem of microplastics in the aquatic ecosystem

Serena Cunsolo has been researching plastic pollution in the aquatic ecosystems since 2015, when she joined The Ocean Cleanup Foundation. Her research focuses on wastewater treatment plants, one of the major sources of microplastic pollution. Serena aims to quantify and evaluate the fate of microplastics as they pass through this treatment process, with a view to promoting innovative technologies that safeguard the aquatic environment.
