Project: Future Fibres: A OneHealth approach to tracking microfibres through the wastewater system.
Lead Supervisor: Dr Ceri Lewis

The aim of this project is to develop real-time, digital monitoring tools to track microfibres and textiles wastes through the wastewater system. A holistic, One Health inspired portfolio of methods will combine state of the art real-time monitoring tools (e.g. FLAIR: FLuorophore-based analysis and image recognition, forensics analysis of microfibres and novel barcoding methods to identify fibres through processing and ageing of additives) with Internet-of-Things inspired GPS tracking devices for identifying pathways of textile and fibre contamination and high throughput ecotoxicology tools to assess impacts.
