Remnants of plastic left by humans can now be found practically everywhere in nature – in waterways, within animals, and even amidst the clouds. In her thesis, Micaela Mafla-Endara examined how nanoplastics that end up in the soil affect the microorganisms living there. The answer is clear: there is an effect on the organisms and how they behave. One could say that Micaela Mafla-Endara and her tea
