Plastic Nodules
Imagine trying to clean up confetti after a party, with tiny pieces scattered everywhere and resisting your best efforts to gather them. This challenge is similar to the problem scientists face with tiny particles of plastic, known as plastic nodules, which are dispersed throughout the environment. Just like confetti, these microplastics are small, widespread, and difficult to collect, posing a significant challenge for cleanup efforts and impacting ecosystems much like how confetti can litter a room long after the party is over.
