How much do we really know about microplastics?

The word “microplastics” appeared for the first time in 2004, coined by Richard Thompson, now a marine biology professor at the University of Plymouth.

In this Q&A episode of Euronews Tech Talks, we pose your questions to Heather Leslie, an independent scientist from Amsterdam, and Francesco Regoli, vice rector for research at the Polytechnic University of Marche.
