Plastics Polluting Lake Champlain: Community Forum
Special | 58m 45s
Tiny pieces of plastic and synthetic fibers are turning up in Lake Champlain.
Scientists say these bits & pieces of pollution carry toxic chemicals that are being eaten by fish and moving up the food chain.Congress has moved to ban some of these plastics, called microbeads, which are used in many health and beauty products. But will the ban only tackle part of the problem? Could other, even smaller pieces of plastic, in greater numbers, be threatening the Lake’s ecosystem?
