Meg Dodge is a second-year Ph.D. student in chemical engineering at Oregon State University. Her research focuses on plastics degradation, micro- and nanoplastics, and the environmental impacts of both bio-based and fossil-fuel-derived plastics.It's easy to imagine a plastic water bottle floating down a river or a grocery bag floating through the air, but the most dangerous form of plastic pollution is invisible. Tiny particles can cross biological barriers, affecting organs like the liver, heart, and brain. To remove these particles from the environment and create safer alternatives, we must understand how they interact with the environment and impact living organisms.
Meg's research will identify how micro and nanoplastics, derived from larger plastic items, impact the sustainability of plastic products.
This presentation was given at the Graduate Research Showcase on April 3, 2025, at Oregon State University.
