Microplastics are pervasive in North America's Great Lakes , the five freshwater lakes straddling the US - Canada border.

A new report by the Great Lakes Science Advisory Board is calling for a cross-border monitoring program to keep tabs on the extent and impact of microplastics.

Microplastic particles are small enough to be about 5 millimeters about the size of the eraser on top of a pencil.
