Summary

Researchers at a Baltic Sea institute expanded their decade-long study of microplastics to explore new dimensions of their ecological impact, contributing to a growing body of evidence that microplastics are a defining pollutant of the current geological era.

At the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research, biological and ecological effects of microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm) have been explored by scientists for a decade. Here we add to this research a new microplastic-related topic by exploring their...
