Defra has funded a project, undertaken by the University of Plymouth, to study the effects of microplastics in the marine environment. The project studied whether chemical pollutants stick to plastic particles, whether marine organisms ingest plastic particles and pass them along the food chain, and whether the plastics themselves, or associated chemical pollutants, could cause harm to those organisms. The final report for this project is currently undergoing peer review.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 23/03/2016 13:51:18 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
