Researchers have developed a new method to capture and reliably detect even the smallest, potentially most harmful plastic particles in the environment. Their "optical screen" consists of an ordinary microscope and a special test strip. There are tiny recesses, in which only particles of appropriate size are captured. If a particle goes into the net, the color changes. [...] Die Beitrag New fast test shows nanoplastic reliably after appeared fir…
