Stacey O'Brian

The University of Queensland

Stacey O'Brian research examens microplastics in the environment. The proposed research will use a simultaneous sampling program to calculate the mass concentration of plastics in various compartments using Pyr-GC/MS. The aim is to understand the fluxes, relationships and sources of plastics in air.
