Microplastic pollution is a source of growing concern due to their potential impacts on ecosystems and human health. Recently, it has been established that microplastics are present in all aquatic ecosystems (rivers, lakes, seas, oceans) including Lake Geneva and its tributaries. As part of an assessment of the microplastic pollution in Lake Geneva, this project aims to identify their presence in the digestive system of fishes from the lake as well as in the Rhone and Versoix rivers.
