A growing body of scientific evidence shows that microplastics are accumulating in critical human organs, including the brain, leading researchers to call for more urgent actions to rein in plastic pollution

Microplastic pollution has been found in all human semen samples tested in a study, and researchers say further research on the potential harm to reproduction is “imperative”.

Microplastics have been found in human testicles, with researchers saying the discovery might be linked to declining sperm counts in men.

Bottled water is up to a hundred times worse than previously thought when it comes to the number of tiny plastic bits it contains, a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences said Monday.

Seventy-four metric tonnes of microplastics have been found in Auckland's atmosphere, the equivalent of three million plastic bottles per year, researchers say.

STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Tarleton State University researchers led by Dr. Rajani Srinivasan have demonstrated that combinations of food-grade plant extracts, including those from okra, aloe, cactus and psyllium, have the power to remove microplastics from wastewater.

Microplastic contamination has been reported in beef and pork for the first time, as well as in the blood of cows and pigs on farms.

Particles discovered in tissue of 11 out of 13 patients undergoing surgery, with polypropylene and PET most common

Recent research suggests that humans consume about five grams of small plastic particles every week, which is about the weight of your credit card.

“Ambitious” efforts could set waste reduction targets, establish scientific advisory body

A new study of microplastic pollution in the home has revealed that we may be breathing in up to 7000 microplastic particles a day, 100 times the amount the researchers predicted.
