The Hidden Danger of Microplastics: Widespread Effects on Aquatic Organisms

The guest for this session was Dércia Santos, PhD in Marine Science, Technology and Management (Do*Mar) from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro and researcher at CITAB and Inov4Agro, who has dedicated the last few years to research in the area of ​​ecotoxicology. Her research focuses on the use of zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a biological model to assess the impact of emerging contaminants, such as microplastics, on aquatic organisms. This month's episode will be moderated by Luís Félix.
