their impacts. Next, we will add to the
Classification section and go further into defining “nurdles” with the ultimate aim of replacing the page “plastic particle water pollution” - the current primary reservoir of information on “nurdles.” In order to give validity to the research articles and information we provide on microplastic studies, we also want to add a brief section on quantification or modes of measuring microplastic levels and effects (i.e. through plankton samples, sediment analyses, and so on). The sources section is quite thorough, but we want to provide a clearer picture of the “cycle” microplastics take from the original source, perhaps a commercial product, to some reservoir (like the ocean), back to the organism (human body). With a cohesive understanding of this process, we can delve deeper into the endocrine disruption pathways and get into the known/proposed (?) biological mechanism of action in the organism i.e. do they become integrated into tissues? (We are true science geeks at heart). Figures and diagrams could enhance this part, adding a nice visual to our slab of information. We want to further investigate the geographic distribution of endocrine-related effects, based on high-seafood consumption areas (i.e. do fishing towns have higher rates of microplastic-induced endocrine disruption?). Our last sections will focus on how negative effects of microplastics can be treated and how they can be removed from the environment, via treatment, bioremediation, or policies.

Microplastics and thus we seek to expand upon it as well as flesh out areas of weakness. First, we plan to add to the introduction and go into a little bit of the history of microplastics - briefly how they’re made and drawing on the first recognition of

be out of date. The other problem is the source itself. The
Journal of Pesticide Reform appears to have been a short-lived journal, and there's no way to tell if it was subject to rigorous peer review. So it would be an iffy source even if it wasn't a quarter century old.
