Microplastics: Is There Any Environmental Information about Insect Glue Trap Plastic (IGTP)?
Summary
This viewpoint article raises the question of whether plastic glue traps used to catch insects — a common pest control product — could be an overlooked source of microplastic pollution in the environment. The authors note that very little research has examined the environmental fate of insect glue trap plastics after disposal. The commentary calls attention to a gap in microplastic source accounting.
