Summary
Scientists are testing a new scanning technology called micro-CT (similar to a detailed 3D X-ray) to spot tiny plastic particles hiding inside the bodies of sea creatures like fish and shellfish. This matters because these same seafood species end up on our dinner plates, so better detection tools could help researchers understand how much microplastic is actually getting into the food we eat, and eventually into us.
