We are beginning to see the impact of plastic pollution on the environment. We have all seen that image of a sea turtle with a plastic straw in its nose or that photo of a bird who has over 30 pieces of plastic in its gut. From decreasingly smaller plastic pieces being found, what is the effect of microplastics on human health? How are the microplastics in the oceans making their way into our bodies? We need a microscope and a catheter to find out.
