B06: Behaviour and transport of microplastics in disturbed and undisturbed soils
Within my PhD project I investigate the fate and transport of microplastic particles in the interface of fluvial/terrestrial systems in Rhine floodplains of Cologne, Germany. A special concern is the investigation of vertical transport mechanisms of microplastic in these floodplain soils to estimate the potential migration into groundwater.
