Additional reports and studies worth reading
Themed Collection of Reports on Microplastics in the Environment highlighting the outstanding work in microplastics analysis and provides insight into this emerging and important area of research. The overarching goal for this compilation of work to help guide and/or facilitate the harmonization, rather than standardization, of methods so that data can be useful at different scales – e.g., locally, globally and across disciplines.
Freshwater Microplastics Emerging Environmental Contaminants?
