A University of Michigan scientist made an important discovery that could reshape how we understand microplastics: lab gloves themselves may have been contaminating measurements in countless studies. By identifying this previously overlooked source of error, researchers can now design better experiments and gain clearer insights into actual microplastics in our environment.
