New PML research has revealed that particles shed from car tyres – a major but often overlooked source of microplastic pollution – are both eaten by, and stick to the bodies of small marine animal

Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

Chris Hemsworth teams up with neuroscientists to demonstrate that the human brain is still alive and kicking, microplastics or not.

Microplastics have been found in all major European rivers, highlighting urgent concerns about pollution and plastic production.

This study shows that microplastics impact our ecosystems right down to the tiniest organisms.

Prince William urges King Charles to install microplastic filters at royal homes after visiting Matter, a climate tech company tackling microplastic pollution.

Washing household plastic containers in a dishwasher releases nanoplastic and microplastic pollution into wastewater, University of Queensland researchers have found.

Readers discuss a recent study on microplastics and nanoplastics in the air, and the death of Arctic foxes at Ocean Park.

The small plastic particles are "ubiquitous" in Great Lakes water, sediment, plants, fish and beaches, an international panel of scientists said.

The research highlights how filter feeders alter the behavior and composition of microplastics, creating unforeseen risks.

Blood tests on migratory chicks fed plastics by their parents show neurodegeneration, as well as cell rupture and stomach lining decay

Marine microplastic pollution is a persistent global issue that has gained scientific attention for over two decades. Nevertheless, knowledge gaps remain, particularly in how inconsistencies in commun...

The Colorado Senate on Feb. 12 approved amended Senate Bill 16, outlawing discharges of preproduction plastic materials (plastic pellets and similar feedstock) and clarifying that the rule targets corporate facilities, while adopting amendments on definitions and effective date. Lawmakers debated enforcement, penalty distribution and possible impacts on manufacturers.

Hunters and poachers have historically made some of the best conservationists—they know the animals, they know their environment. In that vein, who better to advocate for protecting the ocean than those who have felt its power and seen its beauty over and over and over again? Surfers are lining up to try out a Swellcycle […] The post Plant-Based 3D-Printed Surfboards ‘Sensational’ to Ride While Halting Microplastic Pollution appeared first on Good News Network.
