Critical call in UN plastic treaty – News
Rising levels of plastic waste are breaking down in every part of Earth’s land, sea and air, leading to the proliferation of micro- and nanoplastic pollution […]| News
Tiny plastic particles, known as microplastics, have been found throughout the human body—including the brain, blood, lungs, liver and even lower limb joints. In fact,... The post Health Effects of Microplastics: What the Science Says appeared first on The ANSI Blog.| The ANSI Blog
Ocean Diagnostics (ODI) is teaming up with National Research Council Canada (NRC) to develop a microplastics monitoring framework using novel technologies and laboratory analysis to standardize microplastic measurements across Canada and guide policy decisions. The project will test the accuracy of the NRC’s CaMPSim-3D (Canadian MicroPlastics Simulation) prediction model, which simulates how microplastics move through […] The post Ocean Diagnostics, NRC partner to standardize microplastic...| Environmental Science & Engineering Magazine

Nanoplastics, and their slightly larger cousins microplastics, are polluting our environment and our food. The study of these tiny particles is still a relatively new field and in this blog post for British Science Week we’ll explore how scientists are investigating the effects nanoparticles are having on the human brain and its defences.| ukhsa.blog.gov.uk
