Conférence – Le plastique, une histoire d’amour toxique

Every year, between 9 and 14 million tons of plastic waste are dumped into the ocean, which is 1 ton every 3 seconds. What are the consequences of this pollution on marine organisms? What can be done to combat plastic pollution in the oceans? How long does it take for a plastic bottle to decompose? An essential conference to understand and raise awareness of the impact of plastic production on the health of the ocean and our own. A conference that encourages us to rethink our consumption habits. Conference held at the Science Village in Brest, at Le Quartz, national theater, on October 13, 2024. 👨‍🏫 Speaker: Ika Paul-Pont, CNRS Research Director, LEMAR (Laboratory of Marine Environmental Sciences – UMR 6539), UBO, CNRS, IRD, Ifremer. #conference #FDS2024 #science #ecotoxicology #microplastics #Oceanopolis #Brest #Brittany
