New app will enable public to support research around plastic waste in soils
6th December 2022
Researchers at University of Gloucestershire have helped to devise a new app to enable the public to support scientists in understanding how much plastic waste ends up in soils, potentially damaging wildlife and the food supply.
The SoilPlastic App – available on iOS and Android – allows local communities to record their sightings of plastic in soils, which will enable scientists to gain a better understanding of the impacts of plastic residues on soil health. Visit the University website to read more about this story.
