Images of Research: Forging sustainable futures
Take my breath away
Category: Protecting our planet
Plastic waste produced by modern life is polluting our land and oceans, and it is now known that degrading plastic is also contaminating the air we breathe. We are studying microplastic particles in our atmosphere to understand how much we are exposed to and to identify the main sources. This will help prevent future environmental contamination and improve knowledge on how our obsession with plastic could be damaging our health.
