A study led by Griffith University researchers has exposed two generations of a sediment-dwelling invertebrate to microplastic and found that while the 'parent' generation experienced negative impacts ...
Microplastics scientists are finding the tiny particles everywhere, even in their own research laboratories. So how do they know if what they're finding is in the sample or contamination from plastic ...

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 ...
To examine microplastics in Alaska waterways, APU Chemistry and Environmental Sciences professor Dee Barker has to first filter a water sample and examine what’s left over under a microscope, ...
