Deakin University scientists are on a mission to increase awareness and promote behavioural changes to combat the global microplastics problem. They have tested and refined a scientific protocol that allows school students to collect data on the local spread of microplastics. Deakin's Associate Professor Alessandra Sutti is keen to draw attention to microplastics, which have been reported as being present in air, water, soil and even plants and animals. A team of Deakin University materials scientists are spearheading research to increase awareness and promote behavioural changes to combat the global microplastics problem.
