Researchers outline microplastics and tire‑wear monitoring plans, note analytical challenges
Summary
UC Riverside PhD student Hannah and other researchers described progress on a data‑harmonization tool for trash and microplastics, a tire‑wear monitoring study on the Los Angeles River, and plans to use NREL instrumentation and targeted chemical analysis (including 6PPD) to better characterize tire‑derived particles.
Hannah, a doctoral candidate in Andy Gray’s lab at UC Riverside, said she is finishing a data‑harmonization app designed to merge trash and microplastics datasets into common terminology and to harmonize concentration metrics across studies. "I'm wrapping up the first chapter of my PhD, which has been a data harmonization app that I've been working with Wynn on, that is for both trash and microplastics," she said.
