Even the untouched peaks of Denali are showing signs of microplastic pollution—just as much as busy urban streams. Alaska Pacific University’s new lab is on a mission to uncover how these tiny plastics end up everywhere, and what it means for our health and water. With NASA backing and cutting-edge tech, the team is mapping out the invisible threat in our rivers, lakes, and even the air we breathe. For rural Alaskans who rely on natural water, this research could be a game-changer. How do you feel about plastics turning up in the most remote corners of our state? #Science #Alaska #Microplastics
