Episode 20: Measuring and Reducing Microplastics Pollution with Dr. Raffaella Mossotti

<p>The invisible threat of <strong>microplastics</strong> is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time. From the clothes we wear to the <strong>tires on our cars</strong>, tiny plastic particles are constantly being released into the world around us, quietly making their way into our oceans, air, and even our bodies.</p><p>Our guest today, <strong>Dr. Raffaella Mossotti</strong>, is a researcher at <strong>CNR-STIIMA in Biella</strong>. She contributed to the development of the first international standard to measure microplastic release from textiles, in collaboration with <strong>Aquafil</strong>.</p><p>Together, we’ll <strong>trace the threads</strong> of microplastics pollution – uncovering how fabrics shed, which processes are the biggest culprits, and how science can help us design it out for good.</p><p><br></p>
