Study shows two main ocean currents transport the microplastic into the region between Greenland and Spitsbergen from both the Arctic and the North Atlantic

Transporting construction materials to the moon is very expensive; astronaut urine could provide a solution

Researchers estimate that the plastic items could endure for anywhere between 100 and 1,300 years

Researchers have new evidence to explain why plastic is so dangerous for the turtles: they mistake the scent of stinky plastic for food

The agreement is aimed at facilitating the development and validation of a methodology for the quantification of micro- and nano-plastics up to 0.3 µm in size by Eurofins | IPROMA using a Markes International instrument

Diverse scientific methods, variability in scientific rigor, and the pressure to deliver concrete actions on microplastic testing, all contribute to the lack of harmonized regulations in this field

MU scientists find BPA alternative, bisphenol S, could negatively affect both a mother's placenta and potentially a developing baby's brain

Study looks at how marine microbial communities colonize microplastics in Panama 

There are about 700 million pallets produced and recycled each year in the United States alone
