Current methods to count plastic pollution in rivers are insufficient and do not account for the fragments that sink below the surface, a team of scientists has warned.
Cardiff University, generally referred to as Cardiff has its origins in the University of w South Wales & Montmouthshire founded in 1883. Today, Cardiff has nearly 31,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students. Cardiff is a member of the Russell Group of Universities.
