| Webinar: Microplastics in the aquatic environment |
Wednesday 18 December 2019, 09:00-10:00am CET
Over the decades, the issue of plastic pollution in the aquatic environment has become increasingly apparent. In particular the consequences of larger plastic particles for marine life have very vividly shown the impact on (marine) lifeforms. On the other hand, the impact of plastic micro- and nanoparticles remains for the most part unknown. |

| European project on wastewater-based epidemiology EuSeME started |
| december 17, 2019 - Within Watershare, we develop new insights and technologies to quantify the occurrence, the sources, the behavior and the risks of emerging compounds in the water cycle. EuSeME (Europe-wide Sewage analysis to Monitor Emerging drug problems) is a project funded by the European Union’s Justice Programme’s Drugs Policy Initiatives. EuSeME aims to further develop Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE) as an early warning system to monitor emerging drug problems across Europe. WBE is now an established approach in monitoring the consumption of a selection of illicit drugs. However, WBE can also become a valuable source of information about new drug-related threats, such as consumption of new psychoactive substances (NPS), licit and illicit opioids, as well as new trends in drug use (e.g., crack cocaine and cannabis). |
