Anita Carey

After gaining a BSc(Hons) in Environmental Science I studied for a MRes investigating pore-water metals from a 19th century copper and arsenic mine. This was followed by a few years working in the wastewater industry, monitoring a range of innovative wastewater treatment projects. In 2022 I moved back to the University of Portsmouth analysing microplastics in seawater samples from Kenya, and around the United Kingdom. I am now in my second year of a PhD, investigating the fate of compostable packaging in home composting systems.
