Through a weird trick of physics, microplastics can lead to cloud formation and could affect weather and climate ...

Contaminants accumulate in biosolids, which are then applied to croplands as fertilizer. Researchers examined the ...

Meanwhile, scientists have made critical breakthroughs in turning microplastics into graphene — which has applications in ...

While photos of littered beaches and floating garbage patches are unsettling, perhaps the most problematic plastic is barely ...

By Sharon Guynup Bottlenose dolphins leapt and torpedoed through the shallow turquoise waters off Florida’s Sarasota Bay.

Using four common plastics, the researchers simulated water droplets freezing inside a cloud. They found that droplets with ...

Scientists find that most of the microplastics and the 'forever chemicals' known as PFAS cycle through landfills and wastewater treatment plants and end up back in the environment.

Examining the threat of micro- and nanoplastics and innovative nanotechnology solutions for their removal and recycling.

A new study has highlighted that tyre particles (TPs) account for nearly a third of all microplastics and the researchers say ...

The study showed that microplastics help ice crystals form inside clouds by acting as ‘ice nucleating particles’, the researchers say. Using four common plastics, the researchers simulated water ...
