We see this culprit rolling and tumbling every day, perhaps every moment of our lives. They are so common, and so threatening to life.
Modelling microplastic bioaccumulation and biomagnification potential in the Galápagos penguin ecosystem using Ecopath and Ecosim (EwE) with Ecotracer (IMAGE) ...
J.J. Alava adds: "The ultimate goal of this food web bioaccumulation modeling work is to provide science and data to support risk management of hazardous plastic waste, reduce microplastic ...
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.
Unlike acid rain, we can't simply regulate emissions to stop it. With microplastic rain, the damage has already been done, and there doesn't appear any way to really stop it.
Bioaccumulation, where microplastics and their associated chemicals accumulate across a marine food web, is then likely to occur. Research has found evidence of microplastic bioaccumulation across ...
Other factors affecting green roofs' microplastic interception efficiency are temporal variations (e.g., prolonged droughts) that may influence the filtration and hydrological processes.
In a recent scientific paper, physicians reported that switching from bottled water to filtered tap water could cut microplastic intake by about 90% — from 90,000 to 4,000 particles each year.
Microplastic pollution is in our oceans and mountains, our food, and even our bodies. And now, according to a new study published Wednesday, microplastics have been discovered in clouds — and ...
The lowest dietary microplastic intake was seen in Paraguay, with 0.85 grams per month. Microplastic Inhalation When it comes to microplastic inhalation, Mongolia and China came in joint first ...
