Puerto Vallarta (PVDN) - Puerto Vallarta’s beaches are a popular vacation destination for many, but unfortunately, they serve as evidence of the human race’s loss of control when it comes to plastic waste. Researchers from the Tonalá University Center (CUTonalá) recently conducted a study on the beaches of Los Muertos, de Oro, and Boca de Tomates, where they identified a high abundance of microplastics made of polyethylene and polystyrene in coastal sediments.
The study, titled “Micro and nanoplastics present in coastal sediments of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco and their ecotoxic effect,” is part of teacher Ixchel Alejandra . . .
