Paris: A blue and white spiral spotted in the sky in France and the UK was likely created by a SpaceX rocket, according to ...

A new study found that chewing a single piece releases hundreds — if not thousands — of microplastics into your saliva, which you’re most likely swallowing. That’s a real blow, especially ...

Microplastics—tiny plastic bits that can take hundreds of years to break down—are everywhere, from tap water to tea bags, leaving traces in our blood and lungs. Now you can add your favorite ...

Scientists are finding microplastics everywhere they look for them. A new study finds these tiny plastic particles in sea turtle nests on a remote Malaysian island. Researchers warn that ...

You can reach her via e-mail at [email protected] I don’t know about you, but the first time I heard the term “microplastics” and that they are everywhere, including in all of us ...

In a new paper, researchers at North Carolina State University show proof of concept for a system that—in a single cycle—actively removes microplastics from water. The findings, described in ...

And much of what we use, such as cutting boards, clothes and cleaning sponges, can expose us to tiny, micrometer-wide plastic particles called microplastics. Now, chewing gum could be added to the ...

New research suggests areas with higher concentrations of microplastics also have higher rates of chronic disease. Microplastics are plastic fragments measuring between 1 nanometer and 5 ...

This is the warning of researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) who experimented to see how many microplastics the polymer-based treats might let out. Microplastic ...

The small study comes as researchers have increasingly been finding small shards of plastic called microplastics throughout the world, from the tops of mountains to the bottom of the ocean — and ...

Higher exposure to these microplastics, which can be inadvertently consumed or inhaled, is associated with a heightened prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases, according to new research ...

Chewing gum releases hundreds of microplastics into saliva, which can accumulate in the body and potentially cause chronic diseases. Both natural and synthetic gums release similar amounts of ...
