Student-faculty team studies microplastics in local environments

Original: SPARQ in Action: Student-faculty research on microplastics’ impact on local environments aided by University partnership

A student-faculty research group working under the SPARQ programme is investigating how microplastics affect local environments, with support from a university partnership. The collaboration gives undergraduates hands-on research experience while generating data on plastic pollution in the surrounding area. Details of specific findings have not yet been released, but the project highlights growing campus attention to microplastic contamination.

Why now: Local coverage of a university-backed microplastics research partnership is drawing attention to plastic pollution and student research opportunities.
