Summary
Researchers developed a machine-learning model to trace where microplastics in aquatic environments come from and where they end up, potentially giving scientists and regulators a more powerful tool to identify pollution sources and prioritize cleanup efforts.
Due to its durability, low manufacturing cost, and versatility, plastic is a highly desirable product, and its production has been increasing over time. As such, the presence of plastic pollution in our environment also continues to increase. Plastic pollutants are...
