Estonian researchers have developed a groundbreaking wearable device that can detect microplastics in your body without drawing a single drop of blood. This innovative technology could revolutionize how we monitor our health in an increasingly plastic-contaminated world.
Scientists may have been dramatically overestimating how much microplastic pollution exists in our environment, and the culprit is surprisingly mundane: latex gloves worn in laboratories. A new study suggests that contamination from common lab equipment could be throwing off research findings across the field.
Scientists may have been dramatically overestimating the amount of microplastics in our environment. The unexpected culprit? Contamination from common laboratory gloves used during research.
As awareness of microplastic pollution grows, consumers are making a conscious shift toward sustainable fabrics. But what exactly are microplastics, and why should you care about what you're wearing?
Tiny plastics are everywhere—in our air, water, and now, scientists have confirmed, inside us. But how do we study something so small and invisible? Researchers have developed a brilliant solution using glow-in-the-dark technology that's changing everything we know about microplastics.
