Honoured to address #INC2 50+ nations, translation to 6 languages, but only 5 mins to summarise decades of science on the harm current plastics use brings & point towards upstream solutions. Key message - to avoid unintended consequences, science will be critical to guide the way
@ProfRThompson opening statement at #INC2 High Level Event on how dealing with #plasticpollution requires upstream action, reduction, redesign and chemical simplification. Find our #briefings on #climateinteractions, #chemicalpollution, #CircularEconomy @ https://t.co/HDLurFotyK

@PeterHarrisGRID et al argues that the ocean water column is a major transitory sink for microplastic & marine pollution, forming a suspended, marine plastic cloud & that more measurements are needed 2 develop mass balance budgets for marine plastic poll. https://t.co/P1vnnt88bQ
