New @fwf-at.bsky.social CoE Microplanet study in Nature Comms Earth & Environ! CoE Key Researcher Thilo Hofmann @univie.ac.at finds that retreaded tire particles can leach additives more readily than particles from new or used tires, leading to higher ecotoxicity in water. 📄 doi.org/10.1038/s432...
Many thanks to @kuesellab.bsky.social and @microverse.bsky.social for the hospitality, and the inspiring discussions during my visit to Jena. I was very impressed by the Jena Microverse science hub and I look forward to strengthening the connection between it and our @microbesplanet.bsky.social 🧪
