From Slime to Supper: How freshwater biofilms respond to microplastic pollution and shape food-web transfer
Researchers collecting environmental biofilm samples Microplastics (particles <5 mm in size) are environmentally ubiquitous contaminants that have garnered significant attention from both the media and researchers in recent years. Broadly speaking, there are two main types of microplastic pollution. Primary microplastics are intentionally produced and originate from commercial or industrial sources, such as cosmetic exfoliant beads and plastic pellets used for extrusion and injection...
