Scientists Discover New Method to Remove Ocean Plastic

Marine researchers have developed a groundbreaking technique for extracting microplastics from ocean water on a meaningful scale.

海洋研究人员开发了一种开创性的技术，可以在有意义的规模上从海水中提取微塑料。

The innovative method employs a biodegradable compound that causes plastic particles to aggregate into larger clusters, making them substantially easier to capture and remove.

这种创新方法使用一种可生物降解的化合物，使塑料颗粒聚集成更大的团块，从而更容易被捕获和清除。

This development addresses one of the most pervasive and intractable environmental challenges of the modern era.

这一进展解决了现代时代最普遍、最棘手的环境挑战之一。
