Dr. Maryam Salehi was featured in the Fall 2023 issue of Mizzou Magazine for her research around keeping microplastics out of our water systems.
“There are no monitoring practices for plastics being released into stormwater, which can end up as our drinking water,” Salehi said. “We need mitigation strategies to control plastic pollution, and I want to encourage policymakers to take action to reduce the consumption of plastics.”
