🧪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
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
