The accumulation of microplastics in the environment, and within our bodies, is an increasingly worrisome issue. But predicting where these ubiquitous particles will accumulate, and therefore where remediation efforts should be focused, has been difficult because of the many factors that contribute to their dispersal and deposition. New research from MIT shows that one key factor in determining where microparticles are likely to build up has to do with the presence of biofilms. These thin…
