Plastic Pollution 1

Microplastic pollution threatens environmental and human health. To stop microplastic pollution at the source, researchers must collect and analyze sufficient microplastic data. Ocean Diagnostics delivers innovative technologies to overcome the challenges of monitoring microplastic pollution in freshwater and marine environments and waste water treatment systems.
