🧪How do you study microplastics when everything in your lab is also made of plastic? I spoke with researchers in Germany, Norway, the US and Australia about how they try their best to create plastic-free labs, from 100% cotton lab coats to (near) 100% steel laboratories. @cenmag.bsky.social

How do you study microplastics when they’re everywhere?
Microplastics are everywhere, which makes studying them all the more difficult. Labs are doing all they can to be plastic-free but have few common protocols

Are there actually microplastics in forest air? And how can they be detected robustly and cost-effectively? Our new paper by Klein et al. (2026) investigates airborne microplastics in a montane forest in central taly and explores these questions. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The atmospheric transport of microplastics plays a critical role in understanding input rates and distribution patterns across ecosystems. Forest ecos…
