We thought we would start Plastic-Free July with a major accomplishment! Introducing the Tap Trap; this device will allow you to collect plastics coming out of your faucet! It can also be detached and sealed for transport if you want the contents analyzed (1/3)

Did you know that in the USA we use an estimated 120 billion disposable coffee cups per year?? This Plastic Free July, we can help by bringing reusable cups on our coffee runs (most coffee shops are accepting cups as covid restrictions lifting). #PlasticFreeJuly #choosetoreuse

Looking forward to co-chairing Seminar 5 on 3/30 with #DoraMehn ... also, we may need to use this as our background slide. @SETAC_plastics @SETAC_world @pnwmicroplastic #nanoplastics
During seminar 3 of #SETAC Europe's Special Seminar on #Microplastics, panelist Charles Wong provided a one word answer for the future challenge of analytical harmonization efforts: #nanoplastics.
Luckily, that's the theme for Seminar 5 on March 30th.
