Together with Project Director Martin Knoll, the swim also included the most comprehensive water quality analysis ever conducted on the river. A major finding of the project was the highest concentrations of microplastics ever recorded in any river of the world. The talk will include details of the swim, as well as results and implications of the water quality study. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thecompact/message
