WEBINAR: What You Need to Know About Microplastics in Our Waters
March 20, 2024 1:00pm to 2:00pm
DESCRIPTION
Microplastics are emerging contaminants in the water environment. These manufactured polymer particles have been found across water matrices, capturing the attention of consumers and regulators, raising questions about potential human and ecosystem hazards. A major challenge for understanding microplastic fate and transport is that these are complex particle mixtures of varying size and shape. Join us to learn the latest about this a hot topic! This webinar will provide updates on the regulatory landscape, consumer knowledge and attitudes about microplastics in their drinking water, what you need to know about sampling and analytical options, and what we know about microplastic sources and occurrence across water matrices.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Describe current and pending legislation, consumer knowledge and attitudes.
Recognize microplastic monitoring challenges and how to interpret/compare studies in the MP literature.
Compare microplastic concentrations and characteristics in wastewater, stormwater, and surface water.
