Activities
Microplastic assessment in aquatic environments:
- Collection of water, sediment and organism samples from aquatic environments
- Characterization of biofilm community isolated from microplastics through 16S & 18S rRNA amplicon Next Generation Sequencing
- Toxicity assays (LC50)
- Microplastic processing and counting in laboratory settings, avoing airborne microplastic contamination
- Data analysis of microplastic content in environmental samples
Collaboration in monitoring and environmental impact projects associated with the oil industry:
Specific activities:
- Collection of samples of marine biota, water and sediments (using a collection bottle and dredge)
- Sample processing
* Measurement of Total Suspended Solids (Water)
* Measurement of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH's)
* Measurement of Oils and Fats (Water and Sediments)
* Measurement of Heavy Metals (Water and Sediments)
+ Digestion of Water and Sediments
* Measurement of Particle Size Fraction
* Measurement of Total Organic Carbon
* Measurement of Organic Matter
- Participation in data analysis and writing reports
