We don’t often think of plastics as having “fingerprints.” But they do. And, as we continue to find microparticles in unexpected places — from local anchovy and seabird guts to the deepest trenches of ...

Microplastics and the much smaller nanoplastics enter the human body in various ways, for example through food or the air we breathe. A large proportion is excreted, but a certain amount remains in ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that invisible microplastics in homes and cars may be entering our lungs by the tens of thousands each day, underscoring a hidden risk of modern indoor life. In a recent ...
