The Long-Term Effects of Microplastics on Aquatic Life

Did you know that fish can be affected by plastic pollution even during winter!?❄️

In this video, Garth Covernton, a University of Toronto Arts and Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow working in the Rochman lab (St. George campus) and the McMeans lab (Mississauga campus) as part of the pELAstics project, explains.
