The Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1357 "Microplastics” was established in 2019 at the University of Bayreuth. The CRC investigates the increasing contamination of the environment by plastics worldwide and develops innovative solutions to counteract the resulting ecological, health and economic risks. The close linking of interdisciplinary basic research with problem-related application research will enable well-founded risk assessments and further strengthen the transfer of knowledge to the public.
The goal of future research projects of the CRC "Microplastics" is to gain a fundamental understanding of the processes and mechanisms that
1) condition biological effects of MP in limnetic and terrestrial ecosystems as a function of the physical and chemical properties of the particles,
2) influence the migration behavior of MP particles and
3) cause the formation of MP starting from macroscopic plastics, based on model systems for plastics, organisms, and environmental compartments. These findings provide a scientifically sound basis for assessing the environmental risks of MP, as well as for developing environmentally friendly plastics and processes to prevent the emission of MP into the environment.
