Project details
Full project title: Comparing and optimising analytical instrumentation for the measurement of inhalable airborne microplastics
Duration: 16 July 2025 to 12 August 2025
Project lead for CESR: Dr Ben Williams
Other UWE Bristol researcher: Alex King (PhD student)
Research partner/collaborator: University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland
Funder: COST Action European Cooperation in Science and Technology
Project summary
The research coordination between UWE Bristol and the FHNW, Muttenz, Switzerland involved an exchange of knowledge and techniques and use of research infrastructure including instrumentation. The 'exchangee' was Alex King, a microplastics PhD student (College of Arts, Technology and Environment, UWE Bristol) who created this relationship between the University and Zurich. The instrument in Zurich is the LDIR reveals novel results regarding instrumentation optimisation for measuring inhalable airborne microplastics.
