From the depths of the seas to snow on mountains and even the air above cities, microplastics are turning up increasingly often. Now, in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters, resear ...

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) are living in an environment that contains higher levels of potentially harmful chemicals than seen in American homes, new research reveals.

Microplastics are seemingly inescapable, polluting everything from the remotest parts of the planet to the bloodstreams of living organisms, including ourselves. That already comes with some pretty worrying environmental and health concerns that scientists continue to explore, but new research indicates that the proliferation of these particles could have an even wilder consequence: changing the […]

Scientists have found that plastics, a modern industrial product made most often from petroleum, have infiltrated almost every environment on the planet, even human blood. However, their impact is not well understood.

Scientists in eastern China find 24 out of 28 water samples have plastic particles commonly seen in synthetic fibers and packaging

The world is becoming more cognisant of what we add and remove from our atmosphere. And after centuries of industrial sky-clogging, it’s about time, too. However,

In a study published in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers have investigated the presence of microplastics in clouds above mountains.
