09 Sep 2019 --- Plastic in our water and waste streams break down into micro and nanoplastics, which are causing potentially catastrophic consequences to human health. This is according to a study from the University of Surrey and Deakin’s Institute for Frontier Materials published in the journal Water Research. It has concluded that novel plastic detection strategies are required in order to ensure aquatic systems remain clean and safe for usage and consumption. Developing new techniques to do this is instrumental in reducing nanoplastic pollution.
