cigarette butts in the water wafting chemicals and microplastics

Assessing Fate and Toxicity of Microplastics under Coast Environment Conditions

Tobacco and cannabis litter, like cigarette butts and vaping pods, contain plastics. When these break down in the environment, they can introduce harmful microplastics. The research goals of this project are to understand how these microplastics are aging and affecting the coastal and aquatic environment.
