Show Notes
Today we sit down with Andrey Ethan Rubin, a Ph.D. student in the Zucker lab at Tel Aviv University (TAU). Andry is a researcher that focuses his efforts on dealing with the health and environmental hazards that arise due to microplastic contamination in the aquatic environment.
Join us now to learn about:
- What microplastics are, and where they are found.
- Why microplastics are regarded as "complex contaminants".
- The many different types of microplastics, and what makes them harmful to humans, animals, and the environment.
- Why smaller particles tend to contain more toxicity.
While microplastic pollution is still widely regarded as a mystery, researchers like Andrey Rubin are playing important roles in uncovering the nature of this problem, and what we can do to solve it . . .
