Small plastic particles alter neuron growth, suggesting that particle size may be just as important as the amount of plastic ...

With recent studies having established the presence of nano and microplastic particles in the respiratory systems of both human and bird populations, a new study has modeled what happens when people ...

Researchers have also detected microplastics in drinking water, household dust, oceans, and even human tissues and organs.

Sources and exposure pathways to micro nano plastic particles in terrestrial ecosystem agriculture. The accumulation and poor management of plastic fibers and particles remains a pressing global issue ...

Amid rising evidence that additives designed to improve plastics also disrupt sex hormones, a Rutgers laboratory trial shows that plastic itself can do likewise when inhaled at moderate levels.

The moisturizer, sunscreen, or shampoo used in daily routines may contain dozens of plastic-associated chemicals linked to ...

Researchers say the findings underscore how everyday household products may contribute to daily exposure to nanoplastics and microplastics.

Wood-plastic composites (WPC) have a wide range of applications in outdoor decking, automotive interior substrates, packaging, furniture, housing, and cladding, and their current worldwide production ...

Researchers modeled the journey of microplastics released in wastewater treatment plant effluent into rivers of different sizes and flow speeds, focusing on the smallest microplastic fragments — less ...

A new study used a pioneering technique to deliver endocrine-disrupting aerosolized micro-nano-plastics to female lab rats. Amid rising evidence that additives designed to improve plastics also ...
