The beach of La Pineda in Vila-seca records the highest concentration of microplastics in Catalonia
The DIARIDIGITAL of the URV publishes a news article about a study conducted by researchers from TecnATox in collaboration with the UB and the University of Porto, in which the presence of accumulated microplastics on the beaches along the entire Catalan coast has been analyzed for the first time. The study, which included around fifty beaches along 580 km of coastline, confirmed that La Pineda beach (Vila-seca) is the most polluted, with up to 2,000 microplastics per kilogram of sand - almost double that of the second most affected beach, located in the Ebro Delta.
