Do you check nano plastics?

01 January 1970 1 3K Report

the concern about risks related with micro-plastics rise when the size decreases to nano range

Hi. We are not currently looking at nano plastics due to the practicalities isolating them. But it's certainly something we are keen to include and acknowledge as a significant issue.
