MappA: Monitoring and Analysis of Plastic Pollution in Aquatic Environments
The first comprehensive freshwater monitoring initiative is underway in South America, focusing on lakes, shallow lakes, reservoirs, streams, and rivers from Argentina.
MappA is a national scientific network that brings together more than 50 researchers from universities, institutes, and research centers across the country. Using a standardized methodology, it monitors and analyzes plastic pollution, both micro and macroplastics, to understand its distribution, sources, and impacts on inland aquatic ecosystems
