The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy presented the Great Lakes Microplastic Summit, a dynamic one-day, virtual event uniting scientists, professionals, policymakers, and community members to explore the growing impact of microplastics on our freshwater systems.
From cutting-edge research to real-world challenges, this summit dove into the latest knowledge on microplastics in surface water and drinking water. Through engaging presentations and interactive discussions, we explored four key areas:
- Where Do Microplastics Go? Understanding Their Movement in the Environment
- How Do We Detect Them? Advances in Microplastic Research Methods
- What Are the Risks? Impacts on Human and Environmental Health
- How Do They Interact? Microplastics and Other Contaminants
