Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are increasingly entering the food chain through air, water, and soil – posing serious challenges for health and safety.

In this compact 30-minute webinar, Eric Zytowski from the University of Potsdam presents a practical case study on the uptake and detection of MNPs in pak choi.

The focus is on the TED-GC/MS technique, which enables reliable identification and quantification of even the smallest plastic particles in plant material.

You will learn:

  • how MNPs enter vegetables through roots and leaves
  • why washing offers only limited protection
  • and how TED-GC/MS provides a precise analytical solution for your laboratory.

Research meets real-world application – a must for anyone involved in contaminant analysis.

Note: This webinar will be held in English only!

On Demand Webinar will be here soon!

Presenter: Eric Zytowski (University of Potsdam)
