Calling all #microplastics researchers! See below! We are looking for datasets with all microplastics chemically ID'd and all data available in the Supp Mat. We promise it will be used to answer useful questions 🙏

#Microplastics Twitter! Does anyone know of any papers where every single particle in a sample was chemically identified, and the results are available in the SI? @ChelseaRochman

Many don't realize that a "paper" takeout coffee cup is actually single-use plastic. Here is a great visual for all to see! THIS is why it cannot be thrown in your blue bin in most cases. @UofTTrashTeam
