ROCHESTER, New York, April 23 -- Rochester Institute of Technology issued the following news release:
Rochester Institute of Technology scientists have developed the first three-dimensional mass estimate to show where microplastic pollution is collecting in Lake Erie. The study examines nine different types of polymers that are believed to account for 75 percent of the world's plastic waste.
Plastic behaves differently in lakes than in oceans; previous studies on both h . . .
