What’s in the water? Measuring the impact of plastic pollutionSchool of Biological and Behavioural SciencesPlastics are useful materials, but they now pollute our world − on land, and in oceans, rivers and lakes. There are great concerns about the damage they might be doing to the environment. While traditional plastics are non-degradable, strides have been made in developing alternative biodegradable polymers. How can we accurately measure the impact of all plastics? Where are they coming from, how do they degrade, what effects do they have, and can we stop the flow of pollution?Professor Iwan JonesHead of the River Communities Group
