These barely visible microplastics\u2014less than 5 mm wide\u2014are potentially harmful to aquatic animals and plants, as well as humans. So, researchers are devising ways to remove them and to stop them at their source. Today, a team reports a two-stage device made with steel tubes and pulsing sound waves that removes most of the plastic particles from real water samples.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-03-pulsing-ultrasound-microplastics-waterways.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pulsing ultrasound waves could someday remove microplastics from waterways<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorful particles of plastic drift along under the surface of most waterways, from headwater streams to the Arctic Ocean.
