Measuring Tiny Plastics: A New Challenge for Scientists

Scientists have discovered a significant flaw in how we count tiny plastic particles.

New research suggests that common lab gloves might be confusing the results.

This contamination could lead us to believe there are more microplastics than there actually are.
