The term microplastics was first coined just 20 years ago, yet today they are found in the most remote places on Earth, alarming researchers.
Research indicates that microplastics have infiltrated the food chain heavily, affecting marine life and ultimately posing risks to human health through consumption.
Professor Richard Thompson highlights the realization that the proliferation of smaller plastic particles was a major factor in understanding marine plastic pollution.
The urgency of reducing microplastics has never been greater, as decades of evidence demonstrate their pervasive presence and harmful impact on global ecosystems.
