Microplastics Analysis Facility

The purpose of the Microplastics Analysis Facility is to detect the presence of plastics in the environment so that researchers can understand their fate, bioavailability and interactions with wildlife. This research helps governments, consumers and industry to tackle the growing pollution and harm caused by plastic litter and microplastic particles in the environment - in our soils, freshwaters, oceans and food chains.
