Bond is most noted for his work on plastic pollution in oceans and especially the health effects on seabirds. This work has resulted in the identification of a new disease, termed plasticosis, which results in a scarring of the digestive tracts of seabirds from ingesting plastic waste (plastic-induced fibrosis).
