The word “microplastics” appeared for the first time in 2004, coined by Richard Thompson, now a marine biology professor at the University of Plymouth.

Over the past 22 years, microplastics have gained increasing attention, but questions about them still seem to outnumber what we actually know.

In this Q&A episode of Euronews Tech Talks, we pose your questions to Heather Leslie, an independent scientist from Amsterdam, and Francesco Regoli, vice rector for research at the Polytechnic University of Marche.
