Les plastiques collectés sur nos plages sont-ils toxiques pour les poissons?
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Frédéric Sciacca, Isuf Salihu
L’accumulation de particules microplastiques dans l’environnement aquatique représente une préoccupation émergent. Ces petites particules peuvent être ingérées par les organismes vivants et provoquer des effets physiques et/ou toxicologiques. Ce sont égale ...
2018Recherche de fragments de plastique dans les sédiments profonds du Léman
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure
A growing number of studies focusing on microplastics (plastic particles smaller than 5 mm) show this issue affects all environmental matrices and compartments, and suspicions grow as to their toxicity. In this context, the Commission Internationale pour l ...
2017Quelle toxicité pour les plastiques récoltés sur nos plages ?
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Frédéric Sciacca
Les débris plastiques accumulés dans l’océan mondial représentent une quantité considérable de plusieurs dizaines de millions de tonnes. Les microplastiques sont de minuscules fragments de plastique de diamètre compris entre 1 µm et 5 mm. Ils résultent soi ...
