Learn how certain foods may blunt the effects of the microplastic particles we consume daily.

In a new scientific paper, three physicians report that switching from bottled water to filtered tap water could cut your microplastic intake by about 90% — from 90,000 to 4,000 particles each year.

Microplastic fibers present in the ambient air can be inhaled into the lungs and promote a range of complications including oxidative stress, local injury, and cytotoxicity, but data on the ...

It is well known that microplastics are collecting in the world's oceans at an alarming rate, but research on the cancer-linked pollutant in rivers remains limited.

Microplastic particles are a persistent environmental contaminant that needs coordinated monitoring and further research, says McMaster biologist and report co-author Karen Kidd, who is on the ...
