Happy to share a new publication on the interaction of polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics (NP) with the most abundant minerals found in freshwater environments. Excellent work by @saschamueller1987.bsky.social @ucph.bsky.social @sdu.dk @villumfonden.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Another reason to reduce the size of motorized vehicles, including EVs (and stop subsidizing electric SUVs and pickup trucks!): An estimated 10-28% of the Earth’s microplastic pollution consists of 6PPD & 6PPD-Q, chemical additives included in tyres and now found in human urine samples. #plastic

Automated quantitative mineralogy (AQM) gives us a new view on plastics - and the minerals, metals, and salts associated with their surface in aquatic environments. @mayadodhia.bsky.social #plastics #marine #coastal #mineralogy www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Using a method developed for fine-grained sediment, we’ve built a high resolution, historical record of MP deposition in Disko Bay, Greenland since 1950 that’s both eye-opening and worrisome. www.nature.com/articles/s43...
