N° 27 – August-September 2019
Monthly Electronic Newsletter of Sertox (Latin-American Portal of Toxicology) – Year 3

The logo of this month is related with Microplastic drifting down with the snow. In the Alps and the Arctic, experts confirm the presence of plastic in snow. Over the past several years, microplastic particles have repeatedly been detected in sea-water, drinking water, and even in animals. But these minute particles are also transported by the atmosphere and subsequently washed out of the air, especially by snow — and even in such remote regions as the Arctic and Alps (See). There are many other articles to watch. Until next month. JCP
