Scientists have developed a device that uses wood dust and plant compounds to trap microplastics in water. The device, called bioCap, is inspired by the natural ability of plants to filter water and remove pollutants. The device could offer a sustainable and biodegradable solution to the global problem of microplastic pollution, which affects the health of humans and wildlife. #plants #microplastics #bioCap
