Experiment shows biological interactions of microplastics in watery environment
Scientists have learned over the years that when aquatic organisms such as zooplankton become exposed to microplastics, they eat poorly. Research at Purdue University now shows that their plastic-induced eating difficulties also limit the ability of zooplankton to control algal proliferation. “If the control of algae by zooplankton is confounded by the presence of microplastics, … Read more
