Istanbul Technical University Study Examines Impact of Microplastic Contamination on Soil Consistency
A scientific study published by researchers from the Civil Engineering Department at Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ), in collaboration with Gürkan Proje Mimarlık, has analyzed the environmental impact of microplastics on terrestrial ecosystems. The research specifically evaluates how microplastic contamination modifies the consistency limits, also known as Atterberg limits, of various soil structures, providing data on the long-term geotechnical risks associated with synthetic waste accumulation in soils.
