How dangerous are microplastics? | DW Documentary
Microplastics can be found everywhere: in snow up in the mountains, in our rivers - and in the air that we breathe. They comprise particles so minute that they can only be seen under a microscope. Professor Christian Laforsch and his team from the University of Bayreuth have devised their own customized instruments to track down #microplastics in water, the air and farmland soil. They also want to find out how dangerous they are for humans and our environment.
