Of plastics and plastic responses: the transgenerational implications of microplastic toxicity
The University of Western Australia
About the Project Plastic pollution is one of the most widespread and enduring human alterations to all environmental niches across our planet’s surface. The potential for microplastics to negatively impact ecosystems and human health is catastrophic, and rivals that of other global threats, including climate change and ozone depletion. An estimated 12 billion metric tonnes of plastic waste will end up in the natural environment by 2050.
