As plastic waste continues to be a problem globally - with tiny micro-plastic particles contaminating even our drinking water, and the effects on our health unknown - efforts are being made to address the issue, including here in central Europe. PlasticFreeDanube was one such recent effort, an international collaboration between scientific institutions and others in Austria and Slovakia. The project's goal was to monitor the Danube (or Dunaj) river between Vienna and Bratislava, hoping to get some sense of how much plastic ends up in the river and where it originates. Jonathan spoke with one of the project's main participants, Mária Omastová of the Slovak Academy of Science's Polymer Institute.
