But how much plastic are we really breathing in? And should we be worried? A modelling study published in the journal Nature earlier this year suggests the answer may be more complicated – and perhaps ...

Around the world, some 1.5 billion tires are produced each year, and tire-wear particles are increasingly recognized as one of the largest sources of microplastic pollution.

Debates over the presence of microplastics in the human body highlight the challenge of studying something simultaneously invisible to the naked eye and abundant.

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and other complex materials. But a team of Yale researchers led by Professor ...
