Abstract(s)

Freshwater pollution is a huge concern. Occurence of 2 groups of persistent pollutants with similar chemical properties (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and microplastics) in Alqueva’s surface water were evaluated during 2021. Samples were collected, once per season, at 3 spots related to touristic activities. Biofilm presence on plastic and natural materials was monitored and compared.
