Great Lakes scientists warn of heavy microplastic pollution in fish and water
In short:
Microplastics have been found in every Great Lakes fish tested, with some near Toronto carrying hundreds to more than 1,000 particles.
The Great Lakes basin supplies drinking water, agriculture and industry for millions, yet faces contamination from plastics, heavy metals, and other pollutants.
Researchers are developing monitoring frameworks, new cleanup technologies, and policy recommendations, even as global treaty talks on plastic pollution have stalled.
