SCOR WG 174 SPASS will promote harmonization in marine microplastic sampling and analysis. Read their new opinion in PNAS ⬇️ about the importance of microplastic size reporting.
Learn more about the WG at scor-int.org/group/174/!
Opinion: Size matters when it comes to #microplastics. Researchers urge reporting of every particle to better understand how microplastics move through the #environment and their ecological impacts. In PNAS Front Matter: ow.ly/kCrs51008Rm

ALT Microplastic size largely determines how they move, how they interact with ecosystems, where they ultimately end up, and their environmental impacts. Despite this, particle size information continues to be reported sporadically. Image credit: Shutterstock/Real People Images.
