Today we sit down with Andrey Ethan Rubin, a Ph.D. student in the Zucker lab at Tel Aviv University (TAU). Andry is a researcher that focuses his efforts on dealing with the health and environmental hazards that arise due to microplastic contamination in the aquatic environment.

Join us now to learn about:

1. What microplastics are, and where they are found.
2. Why microplastics are regarded as “complex contaminants”.
3. The many different types of microplastics, and what makes them harmful to humans, animals, and the environment.
4. Why smaller particles tend to contain more toxicity.

While microplastic pollution is still widely regarded as a mystery, researchers like Andrey Rubin are playing important roles in uncovering the nature of this problem, and what we can do to solve it . . .
