Snow Sampling in Tschuggen, Switzerland

Caption

Fresh snow is filled with a chrome steel towel to lockable galss containers. Later the samples are analysed for microplastic concentrations in the lab. The whole sampling takes place without the use of any plastics to prevent the samples from contamination.
