Lithium ion batteries (LIB) continue to gain market share in response to the increasing demand for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and energy storage.

PET is a ubiquitous material because of its robust properties.

Nanoplastic is an emerging topic of relevance in environmental science.

The built environment is responsible for large negative ecological impacts due in part to the vast amount of materials used in construction.

There is a metabolic rift running through our economy and culture, and it is distracting our attention from care for the biosphere.

#SmartME has been one of the first initiatives in Italy to realize a Smart City through the use of open technologies.

Characterising microplastics based on spectroscopic measurements is one key step of many studies that analyse the fate of microplastics in the environment.

Microplastics (MP) (5 mm) are crucial pollution which are widely distributes in the environment.

Interest about interactions between microplastics and organisms is on the rise.

The quantification of micro- and nanoplastics in environmental matrices is an analytical challenge and pushes to the use of unrealistic high exposure concentrations in laboratory studies which can
