These prepared samples are used as references by Professors Elodie Passeport and Jennifer Drake and their teams, who study the prevalence of microplastics in the environment. They have shown that human-engineered structures known as bioretention cells can be effective at preventing microplastics from getting washed downstream in storm surges. (Photo: Ziting (Judy) Xia)
