New Microplastics Research Center at PSU hopes to identify sources of pervasive, potentially dangerous pollution ...

Tiny shards of plastic called microplastics are all over the environment and even inside human bodies. Researchers have found a type of bioengineered algae that can clean up these pesky particles.

Plastics are ever-present in our society. And they don't decompose, but become tiny particles called microplastics. And those have been found everywhere. Now, they're being found in some unexpected ...

Through their experiment, which tested different types of microplastics undergoing varying flow velocities and sediment bed compositions, they found that spherical particles most often continue ...

Microplastics have been found accumulating everywhere from our water to our body tissues, but many of the claims have come ...

Each of these victories was made possible by people like you who have shown up time and again when our communities and our environment needed you the most. Thank you! Your generosity powers victories ...

Microplastics have become pervasive contaminants in aquatic environments, raising major concerns within environmental science and materials engineering ...

By integrating experimental evidence across freshwater and marine systems, the study emphasizes that algae–microplastic interactions are not uniformly harmful but context-dependent, offering ...

It is hard to believe that life can survive in Antarctica. Despite its harsh conditions, hardy flora and fauna do just that ...

Although plastic particles in the air are increasingly coming into focus, knowledge about their distribution and effects is still limited. Chemical analyses from Leipzig now provide details from ...

Volunteer groups have offered to help clean up the microplastics spill, but EGLE said the river's sediment is unsafe for ...
