A new study led by a statewide environmental nonprofit organization found microplastics in each of 53 Pennsylvania waterways sampled, including four in Centre County.
The report “Microplastics in Pennsylvania,” released Wednesday by PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center found that samples taken from Spring Creek, Slab Cabin Run, Buffalo Run and Cedar Run all contained microplastics tiny pieces of plastic less than 5 millimeters in length.
More than 300 samples were collected from bodies of water in every corner of the state for the study, which used a citizen-science protocol developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that has been implemented across the country to identify microplastic contamination.
Peter Buck, an academic programs manager in Penn State’s Sustainability Institute and former Ferguson Township supervisor, announced on Monday that he will seek election to the State College Area School Board this year.
“The Pennsylvania Constitution requires a ‘thorough and efficient’ system of education,” Buck said in a statement. “In SCASD, we need to make it more thorough and more efficient. We need advocates on our school boards who take on a comprehensive view of education in a changing world, and that support equitable outcomes for all children. We need education for a sustainable future.”
Buck, who last year was the Democratic challenger to state Rep. Kerry Benninghoff in the 171st district, plans to cross-file for the Democratic and Republican ballots in the May 18 primary.
