Ocean microplastics cause climate change
How microplastics produced by wastewater spread.
Walk along any northern coastline — from the windswept Hebrides to the rocky coves of Nova Scotia — and it seems wild enough, clean enough, to be untouched. But beneath the waves, a quieter crisis is unfolding. The latest research has laid bare the scale of microplastic pollution in our coastal and marine environments, and … Continue reading Microplastics’ Threat to Northern Marine Life
Microplastics — tiny fragments of plastic less than a millimeter across — are now firmly embedded in one of the least disturbed ecosystems in Europe: forests. A new study by researchers at the Technical University of Darmstadt finds that forest soils in central Germany are accumulating significant amounts of these particles, largely through the simple … Continue reading Forest Soils Trap Microplastics from the Air
