Our study found that microplastic particles exhaled by bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are similar in chemical composition to those identified in human lungs. It’s not known whether ...
we held a petri dish or a customized spirometer—a device that measures lung function—above the dolphin's blowhole to collect samples of the animals' exhaled breath. Using a microscope in our ...
