In a scientific first, researchers have recorded how quickly microplastics pass through the gut of zooplankton to better ...

In a Nutshell Male mice exposed to microplastics before conception produced female offspring with insulin resistance on a high-fat diet, while male offspring remained largely unaffected Microplastic ...

Microplastics, tiny plastic particles pervasive in agricultural environments, interact with and disrupt the microbial ecosystem in the rumen—the first stomach chamber of cattle, reveals an ...

A new study has, for the first time, recorded and measured just how fast microplastics move through the gut passage of a key zooplankton species in real time—and used those measurements to estimate ...

The plastic era has begun, and for sure, it will last for decades or even longer. Polymer-based materials are almost everywhere, reaching even the deepest regions of the oceans, and their global ...

Researchers tracked microplastic beads and nylon fibres as they were eaten and expelled by copepods under laboratory ...

While MPs have already been detected in human reproductive systems, the study, published in the Journal of the Endocrine ...
