What are microplastics and how do they end up in the environment?

How can your choice of goggles, bathing suits and pool floaties contribute to the microplastic problem? Learn how Academy scientists in the Patrick Center for Environmental Research identify microplastics in our water and help our Biogeochemistry Lab identify microplastics in their samples from the Philadelphia-area.
