Microplastics, pervasive in both ... These limitations highlight the urgent need for advanced detection methods that can analyze microplastics in their natural state within biological tissues.

Microscopic bits of plastic are sloughing off into food and beverages when consumers unwrap the plastic packaging, a new ...

The method. The detection of microplastics in, for example, water, beer or other liquids has been possible for some time and is based on filtering.

Scientists have observed these tiny particles in the intestine, in the liver… and even in the brain. Experts have evidence ...

Once released into the environment, the fate and movement of MPs are shaped by factors such as particle size, shape, density, and local hydrological conditions. Low-density polymers like polyethylene ...

Based on the number of microplastics detected in the samples, it was determined that each cup released "hundreds of millions" of nano-sized particles into the 50 ml (1.7 oz) of water it contained.

One group of researchers is using these new methods to study 800 mother-and-child pairs in Belgium and Spain, looking for links between microplastics in placenta, urine and blood and health ...

ARLINGTON, Texas — The University of Texas at Arlington has published a new study that finds microplastics are continuing to slip into water and soil despite advances in wastewater treatment.

Scientists have discovered microplastics in the snow near some of Antarctica's deep field camps, revealing how far-reaching plastic pollution has become. While not new, it's the first time these ...
