Katrina uses specialized equipment to examine plastics that settle on surface waters (like lakes) after wildfires, and researches how we can monitor, measure, and keep these micro-plastics out of the environment. https://t.co/bYt1b6aSOT — PolitiTweet.org

How do these plastics get to be so small? You may have seen single-use plastics polluting the environment, like plastic soda bottles littering a park - those plastics break down due to weathering into smaller and smaller parts, eventually to microscopic size. 🔎 — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

Micro-plastics and nano-plastics are tiny plastic particles found in oceans, freshwater systems, the air, and our soil. 🌊 Katrina's research focuses on creating methods for finding, measuring, and analyzing these plastics that are dangerous to aquatic life and human health. — PolitiTweet.org

As part of the order, EPA will approve a workplan outlining steps to clean up the environmental damage. If the company fails to complete any actions as ordered, EPA will immediately step in, conduct the necessary work, and seek to compel Norfolk Southern to pay triple the cost. — PolitiTweet.org
