Palladium is Being Used to Track Nanoplastics in Sewage and Environmental Situations More than 98% of the smallest plastic particles from sewers are retained in sludge. Researchers have been able to prove this by incorporating the precious metal palladium as a tracer in artificial nanoplastics . This innovative method has great potential for keeping track of the behaviour of nanoplastics in technical systems as well as in environmental situations.
