Summary
This award supports participation in a symposium focused on microplastics in aquatic environments. Concerns about global microplastic contamination and the potential human and ecological health risks have grown in recent years. The symposium will bring together researchers from multiple disciplines to share findings and identify priorities for understanding microplastic contamination in freshwater systems, with particular attention to environmental samples from the Great Lakes. These efforts will advance understanding of emerging environmental contaminants affecting aquatic ecosystems and wate
