Bachelor Theses on:
- A case study of tire wear particles in the Dreisam river (Freiburg, Germany)
- Comparison of microplastic pollution of treated wastewater and river water of the Dreisam river (Freiburg, Germany)
- Determining the status quo of microplastic pollution in the Dreisam river (Freiburg, Germany)
Project description:
Our current research aims to determine the status quo of microplastic pollution in the Dreisam river (Freiburg, Germany). Three independent Bachelor Theses are studying how vulnerable the river is to microplastic pollution, where hotspots are, whether wastewater treatment is effectively removing microplastics, and whether tire wear particles are a major source of microplastics.
