Plastic Pollution
Channel: Sean Anderson
Date: 22/11/2016

Here we discuss coastal and marine pollution through the lens of a growing and increasingly conspicuous pollutant category: plastic debris.  We discuss the ubiquity of macro- and microplastics (particles, microfibers, and microbeads).  In addition to discussing the wider problem and findings of others we discuss some of our recent work quantifying microplastics across the globe.
