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 ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Microplastics are reducing photosynthesis in plants and algae by 7% to 12%, potentially decreasing staple crop yields by 4% to 14%. This poses a risk to global ...

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 ...

On the heels of a shocking new study that found our brains contain about a spoonful of microplastics, experts say there are a few ways to limit exposure and consumption of these dangerous specks.

Microplastics negatively impact photosynthesis in terrestrial, marine, and freshwater ecosystems, reducing photosynthetic efficiency by 7% to 12% and chlorophyll production.

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 ...

There isn’t yet research on how to remove microplastics already in our bodies, but there are a few ways we can limit exposure. That amount was higher—by seven to 30 times—than the amount of ...

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 ...

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 ...
