11 Predicting microplastic degradation in changing climates is challenging due to complex interactions between environmental variables and plastic behavior. Factors like rising temperatures ...

Chewing gum contains plant-based or synthetic plastic polymers, making it a potential source of microplastics; however, the ...

New research reveals that PET-based glitter microplastics can actively influence biomineralization processes in marine ...

A recent study indicates that large amounts of microplastics and various additives released during plastic degradation are ...

Notably, the study, carried out on soil samples from a field in Hartwood, North Lanarkshire (one of the locations in a UK-wide sewage sludge experiment between 1994 and 2019) also revealed that ...

Andi Breitowich works across digital and print magazines covering health, fitness, nutrition, and the latest trends. Her work has appeared in Women's Health, POPSUGAR, Cosmopolitan, Men's Health ...

Their findings, published in Science of The Total Environment contribute to a better understanding of the global microplastic cycle. Microplastics are now found almost everywhere—in household ...

PET-based glitter microplastics can actively influence biomineralisation processes in marine environments, a study has found, raising fresh concerns about the long-term environmental impact of ...
