Scientists’ mental models of microplastics: insights into expert perceptions from an exploratory comparison of research methods Open
Microplastics have been studied extensively, yet considerable uncertainty remains about the risks they pose. One way to characterize the state of knowledge about a hazard and the risks it poses is to examine how scientists specializing in …
