Quantification of Nanoplastic Uptake in Cucumber Plants by Pyrolysis GC/MS. My First download 2022.

[NNadir]

This is the first really fun paper I've downloaded in 2022: Quantification of Nanoplastic Uptake in Cucumber Plants by Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (Chengjun Li, Yan Gao, Shuai He, Hai-Yuan Chi, Ze-Chen Li, Xiao-Xia Zhou, and Bing Yan Environmental Science & Technology Letters 2021 8 (8), 633-638))

I'm still back in 2021 with this journal, but this is the shit we're up against in 2022 and beyond.

But New Years is a time to be hopeful. Let's hope we do so much as to hope for plastic free cucumbers in some distant future.

(Is it too much to ask?)

Happy New Year to all readers of the Science Forum and especially its outstanding moderator.

1. My last long and wide-girthed garden cuke sits on the kitchen counter and

refuses to yellow and/or rot. Going to chop it up and see if it's okay for "our babies," the feral domestic ducks, in the community pond out front tomorrow morning. Happy New Year!
