Plastic storage products can leach microplastics into foods when frozen or microwaved. Here's how to limit your exposure.

These include chunks of floating plastic waste that break down ... which are in turn composed of multiple particles known as soft dendritic colloids. Such particles have a reputation for being ...

It is well known that we eat, drink and breathe billions of invisibly small particles of plastic every day. Still, until now, scientists have not known whether these micro- and nanoplastics move ...

A study out of Hawaii has shown that tissues sampled [recently] had significantly higher concentrations of plastic particles in them than the tissues from just 10 years ago. So while it might not ...

About 10% of the detected plastic particles were microplastics, and the other 90% were nanoplastics. Microplastics are between 5 millimeters to 1 micrometer; nanoplastics are particles less than 1 ...
