Monitoring microplastics in the Savegre River 🔎 Eurofins Environment Testing Hungary has collaborated with the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE) and the Quetzal Education Research Center (QERC) on an international research initiative to investigate microplastic contamination in Costa Rica’s Savegre River.The multi-disciplinary consortium joined forces to conduct field sampling and laboratory analysis. The team at Eurofins Environment Testing Hungary analysed samples for microplastic particles using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Their analyses yielded high-quality data that provides a valuable baseline for future monitoring of the river, supporting conservation and long-term environmental stewardship. This initiative highlights the commitment of all laboratories within the Eurofins network to #TestingForLife and contributing to a more sustainable future for all.
