💧 The MicroDrink project officially concludes on 30th June 2026, but its impact is only beginning.

The MicroDrink Board will continue its collaboration through follow-up activities, building on the strong partnerships, scientific expertise, and shared commitment established over the past two and a half years.

Together, they will continue advancing research on microplastics, supporting evidence-based decision-making, and promoting sustainable drinking water management across the Danube Region. 🌍 ✨

💧DANUBE DAY, 29 June

The Danube is far more than a river. It is a vital source of drinking water, biodiversity, economic development, and cultural identity for millions of people across Europe.

Today, this shared natural treasure faces a growing and often invisible challenge – microplastic pollution. Tiny plastic particles are increasingly finding their way into rivers, ecosystems, and drinking water sources, posing risks to both environmental and human health. Protecting the Danube means protecting one of our most valuable resources: clean water.

Through the project, we are working to better understand, monitor, and reduce microplastic contamination in drinking water systems across the Danube Region, helping to safeguard water quality for present and future generations.

This Danube Day, let us remember:

-Every drop matters.
-Clean drinking water is a fundamental right.
-Protecting the Danube means protecting our future.

Together, we can reduce pollution, raise awareness, and contribute to healthier rivers and safer drinking water for all. 🌍✨

💧Transnational Monitoring Database of Microplastics in Drinking Water

The MicroDrink project carried out a year-long pilot sampling campaign at nine sites, covering three major aquifer types: karst, intergranular, and surface water/bank filtration.

Using a harmonized methodology aligned with the EU Drinking Water Directive (2020/2184) and its 2024 Delegated Act on microplastic measurement, the project achieved the first transnational implementation of standardized sampling procedures, improving data comparability and supporting policy integration across participating countries.

To address the lack of accessible monitoring data, MicroDrink developed an open Transnational Monitoring Database, providing free access to quarterly monitoring results from all pilot sites and strengthening cross-border cooperation. 🌍✨

💧MicroDrink at InPlasTwin Summer School 2026

From 15-19 June 2026, the MicroDrink project participated in the InPlasTwin Summer School 2026 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, bringing together experts working on micro- and nanoplastics in environmental and food systems.

Representing the Croatian Geological Survey, Lead Partner of the project, Dr. sc. Ana Selak joined discussions on advanced detection methods, environmental impacts, and policy development. During the Science-Policy-Practice Lab, she presented MicroDrink’s Roadmap Towards MP Strategy, highlighting the project’s contribution to evidence-based solutions for microplastic contamination in drinking water.

Participation in the Summer School provided an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge, strengthen international cooperation, and increase the visibility of the MicroDrink project within the European scientific and policy community working to tackle microplastic pollution. 🌍✨

💧How does microplastic pollution affect the quality of our drinking water?

Microplastics have become one of the most pressing challenges for water resource protection, and their presence in drinking water calls for coordinated action from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

Through the MicroDrink project, partners across the Danube Region are working together to improve knowledge, harmonize monitoring approaches, and support solutions for addressing microplastic contamination in drinking water systems. 🌍✨

💧On June 12, as part of the SUNDANSE project activities, researchers had the opportunity to visit the REXDAN research vessel while it was anchored in Novi Sad, Serbia.

Among the visitors was Dr. Branislav Petrović, Assistant Professor at the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Mining and Geology and a member of the MicroDrink project.

During the visit, participants explored the vessel’s state-of-the-art laboratories and learned about its advanced capabilities for environmental monitoring, water sampling, and hydromorphological research along the Danube River.

REXDAN is the largest and most advanced integrated freshwater research vessel in Europe, operated by the “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galați, Romania. The vessel supports complex scientific investigations across a navigable 2,000 km stretch of the Danube, contributing to a better understanding and protection of freshwater ecosystems.

The visit provided a valuable opportunity for knowledge exchange and strengthened collaboration among researchers working towards sustainable river management and environmental protection.🌍✨

💧World Environment Day 2026

Every year on June 5, the world marks World Environment Day, a global reminder that the future of our planet depends on the choices we make today.

The planet is speaking louder than ever.

Rising seas. Extreme heat. Wildfires. Melting glaciers.
These are not distant warnings anymore. These are signals we are already living through.

For years, the world talked about climate change as a problem of the future.
But the future has arrived.

And while the climate crisis accelerates, another invisible threat continues to spread through our rivers, oceans, soil, and even our bodies. Microplastics.

Tiny plastic particles are now found in drinking water, marine ecosystems, food chains, and the air we breathe. What was once considered convenience has become one of the defining environmental challenges of our generation.

Yet there is still another signal rising beneath the noise.

Solar panels replacing fossil fuels.
Cities becoming greener and more sustainable.
Communities restoring rivers and forests.
People choosing action over silence.

2026 is a reminder that every decision matters.
The signals we send back to the planet today will shape the world we live in tomorrow.

The Earth cannot wait.
Neither should we. 🌍✨
