Microplastics circulate globally through the atmosphere, but their sources may not be what scientists once thought.

Over time, plastics break into smaller and smaller fragments called microplastics and — when they’re invisible to the naked eye — nanoplastics. The human body’s mechanisms ...

Tiny plastic particles are now being found almost everywhere, including inside the human body. Scientists have detected ...

A new study has found that scientists can identify how much recycled plastic sits inside a finished bottle or jar with striking accuracy. That advance could turn recycled-content claims into something ...

Plastic particles enter our bodies through various pathways and distribute into our organs. Researchers are developing a way to track these particles using wearable spectrometry. By using a spectrum ...

Nano- and microplastics are increasingly being detected in the human body. However, their detection remains challenging, often relying on invasive techniques and specialized equipment. Researchers at ...

Recycled plastics are promoted on everything from water bottles and fleece jackets to shopping bags and yogurt cups. Verifying such claims, however, is another matter because there is no quick and ...
