<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi Allen & Jan,<br>
<br>
In case you are looking for more information on plastic microbeads, attached and below are some of the better references I've found. I think you already have the 2015 NY Attorney General's report, "Discharging Microbeads to Our Waters: An Examination of Wastewater
Treatment Plants in New York". If not, let me know and I'll send it. <br>
<br>
I created a PPT overview of the microbead issue, somewhat outdated with recent events! It is too large for my email server to send, so let me know if you want to see it.<br>
