#Nanoplastics in the Ocean
The 2024 #EarthDay theme, “Plastics vs. Planet,” emphasizes the critical nature of protecting our environment, especially as researchers uncover micro- and nanoplastics in more and more places.This year #NotreDame researchers presented clear images of nanoplastics in the ocean for the first time. Due to their chemical makeup we know they came from plastic water bottles, food packaging, fishing nets, and clothing.The research is an essential first step in determining the toxicity of the nanoplastics in the ocean, and devising ways to mitigate it.#nanoplastics #microplastics #pollution #environment #saveourplanet #saveouroceans #research #engineering #aerospaceengineering #mechanicalengineering
