      Here’s another example of micro plastics

      Like what makes these deepshits think the important thing is that they are not glove fragments from the people measuring.

      I work in a lab and when asked to handle certain things you are told to never touch certain areas. Can the ventilation system blow some dust from powdered gloves? Sure. But take your precautions and do your counting correctly. Use tweezers and avoid rubbing particles off your gloves and into the sample.

      Its like someone running over some kids and then writing “hey when you drive you’re not supposed to run over kids or other pedestrians.” Just drive correctly.
