The NGO Sail & Explore, the GR-CEL and ETHZ aim to better assess microplastic pollution in the Swiss Alps
Studies have already shown that there are microplastics, not only in oceans and lakes, but also in the mountains. What about in the Swiss Alps? The NGO Sail & Explore as well as scientists from ETHZ and EPFL will survey the waters of the Engadine in Graubünden this week and for two months.
