Master Microplastics and Mitigation Science to Solutions in 4 weeks through hands-on, project-based online training with DSTC.
Environmental Science & Sustainability
Module-by-module breakdown of Microplastics and Mitigation Science to Solutions, from foundations to a certified capstone project.
Outline
Mastering the transition from environmental sampling to high-fidelity data • Leveraging Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) and automated μ-Raman spectroscopy for sub-micron particle identification • Implementing ISO/TC 61/SC 14 standards for global inter-laboratory reproducibility
Outline
Assessing biological risk through the lens of bio-accumulation and translocation • Utilizing Organ-on-a-Chip and 3D cell culture models to simulate MNP translocation across the human intestinal and blood-brain barriers • Modeling the long-range transport and deposition of “invisible” microplastics in urban and polar regions
Outline
Engineering a plastic-neutral future through innovation and remediation • Designing for degradability—Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and cellulose-based structural alternatives with zero-microplastic footprint • Assessing the commercial viability of PETase and microbial consortia for localized plastic waste neutralization
