SUMMARY:Zahner Conservation Lecture Series at Highlands Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Plastic Pollution on the Plateau: An Overview of Microplastics Research in the Southern Appalachians \nFeatured Speaker | Jason Love\, Associate Director of Highlands Biological Station\, Western Carolina University \nMicroplastics are a growing environmental and human health concern. Recent research from HBS and others shows that microplastics are being deposited from the atmosphere\, where they end up in the environment\, including soils\, forested headwater streams\, valley rivers\, and in both terrestrial and aquatic animals. This presentation will provide an overview of plastic pollution\, including research from the Plateau and surrounding region. \nSponsored by Paul Manos & Diane Lennox \nFavorites Count: 0
