A new URI study found significant #microplastics pollution in #RhodeIsland's #NarragansettBay, with more than 1,000 tons of along the bay floor. Researchers say we have opportunities to "make actionable change for the bay and our entire coastal system." uri.edu/news/2023/08/n…

A first-of-its-kind @UniversityofRI study on microplastics in Narragansett Bay found “extensive” microplastic storage along the top 2 inches of the Narragansett Bay’s seafloor. The study was published in @SciReports earlier this summer. trib.al/TSfzuig

Worried about #plasticpollution ? I know I am. Particularly after findings by @URIPlastics in Rhode Island - they found microplastics in the human brain (pictured) & detected cognitive disfunctions in mice exposed to the same particles. Check out: mdpi.com/2416384 @EU_ENV
