Aboard the Icebreaker Oden, a Swedish vessel on an Arctic expedition, a multidisciplinary group of scientists, filmmakers and students, including three City College of New York undergraduates, made a dismaying discovery in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. “Microplastics, a lot of them,” said Krystian Kopka, junior in CCNY’s Grove School of Engineering. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) defines microplastics as any type of plastic fragment that is less than 5 mm in length. Resistant to biodegradation, microplastics can break down to even smaller pieces that can
