microplastics

Research shows that brightly colored plastics such as red, blue and green are able to decompose into microplastics faster than light or colorless plastics.

Microplastics have been found in Mount Everest, the deep Mariana Trench of the Pacific Ocean and now in men's testicular tissue.

A laboratory study shows that microplastics can persist during cell division and contribute to the spread of cancer when they are in tumors.

Microplastics have been found in supermarket food and farm animals in the Netherlands, however, its impact on human health is unknown.

Scientists have proven that microplastics are everywhere, in the air, in the oceans and even in the human body for many years.

Recently, microplastics have been found for the first time in snowfall in Antarctica. This could accelerate the thaw and pose a threat to the continent's unique ecosystems.

Microplastics have been found in dried fish products across Asia, including China and Japan.

The new discovery shows that these microplastics can move around the body and reside in different organs.

Every year, the equivalent of 300 million micro-bottles of rainfall falls to national parks and wilderness areas in the western United States.

Scientists have new evidence to explain why plastic is dangerous to sea turtles: animals confuse the scent of plastic with food.
