Going with the Flow: First Coordination Meeting on Project to Apply Radiotracers to Oil and Gas Flow Meters

While the visible impact of large plastic debris on marine environments has been well documented, the potential harm caused by microplastics is much less clear. Nuclear and isotopic techniques can provide valuable information on their impact and the risk to marine organisms and, ultimately, humans. This information can be used by governments as input into making policy decisions.

The small coral nubbin on this photo is part of the marine plastics experimental work at the IAEA Environment Laboratories in Monaco.
