Genom att använda mikrodesignade jordmodeller har forskare vid Lunds universitet undersökt hur pyttesmå partiklar av polystyren påverkar bakterier och svampar. Trots att denna nanoplast minskade både bakterie- och svamptillväxten lyckades svampen faktiskt ”städa upp” i sin omgivning och mildra plastens påverkan. – Plastavfall är ett enormt problem idag. Oavsett om det slängs nonchalant i naturen,
