A new technique examines small plastic particles in Lake Geneva and nearby waterways.
EPFL describes a new technique for studying tiny microplastics in Lake Geneva and surrounding waterways. The research concerns plastic particles smaller than five millimetres, including fragments formed as larger items break down. Their slow degradation allows them to persist in the environment.
