... (and to have contributed to chapter 8 on degradation, fragmentation and aggregation).
📖 This book is a great collection of knowledge on the complex intricacies of micro- and nanoplastics in our environment.
Thanks for leading this effort @tonyrwalker1.bsky.social, Nisha Singh & Thilo Hofmann
Proud to have written a chapter on micro- and nanoplastic environmental transport and fate modelling (chapter 9) in this new RSC book on Microplastic and Nanoplastics in the environment, together with @pradodomercq.bsky.social @samharrison.science and @mattmacleod.bsky.social

The @nytimes.com Lost Science series continues. Here's my Q&A with a scientist who was studying how wildfire smoke threatens human health when the EPA decided that her research was no longer a funding priority. Gift link: nyti.ms/4jhpw14
All code available open-access to be taken up e.g. in global-scale transport and fate models.
Fantastic collaboration with Marianne Seijo, Mick Whelan & Todd Gouin
We present a model framework to estimate atmospheric residence times of #microplastics and #nanoplastics to account for combined impacts of micro- and nanoplastic properties and of environmental conditions on the long-range transport potential of micro- and nanoplastics.
Happy to share our paper recently published in Communications Earth & Environment! 📚
