"The search for natural compounds to counteract these harmful effects is ongoing." Scientists make stunning discovery about ...

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 ...

Accumulations of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) in the brain rose from 2016 to 2024 and were found in higher levels in the brain than in other organs, new research suggested. In a trial ...

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 ...
