Abstract ENGThe aim of the Task that involves CNR IRSA into the CAS project is the study of nanoplastics’ bioaccumulation in living organisms selected as relevant models in the trophic chain transfer in both freshwater and seawater environment. The proposed project is mainly divided into two parts: (i) method’s development (year 2020-2021) and (ii) nanoplastics environmental monitoring (year 2022-2023). The task will be carried out thanks to a cooperation between JRC Ispra and CNR Pallanza. The knowledge transfer of CNR Pallanza is essential to the development/optimization of culture protocols at the JRC for fito-zooplankton and annelid. In addition, CNR will provide mussels (native and invasive species), obtained by environmental sampling, and maintained under controlled laboratory conditions at both CNR and JRC. All the selected models will be used for further development of the method for extraction, quantification and identification of nanoplastics in complex matrices. The nanoplastics accumulation, will be qualitatively, and where possible, quantitatively measured by the unique and promising method, now under implementation/optimization, discovered by JRC in collaboration with the US-National Institute for Standard and Technology. In particular, this method is considered important for future development of screening tests for environmental nanoplastics detection, combining different techniques such as separation and visualization of nanoplastics by Scanning-Transmission Electron Microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
