Keep microplastics out of your food.

One scientist is on a mission to reveal the far-reaching spread of microplastics after kayaking around a remote glacier in Greenland. View on euronews ...

"Daily ingestion of microplastics (MPs) is a growing public-health concern, partially linked to widespread use of single use of plastic cups and containers," the authors wrote in the paper.

Researchers propose building fluorescence directly into microplastic polymer structures, enabling stable real-time imaging of how particles move, accumulate, and degrade in biological systems.

Scientists found microplastics in all examined human brains in a recent study, with highest levels discovered in dementia patients.

A new review from researchers at Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University found that microplastics, plastic fragments ranging from 0.1 micrometers to 1 millimeter, are showing up ...
