The translucent, ethereal quality of the jellyfish symbolizes the hidden yet ever-present threat of microplastics in our environment. The insidious tiny plastic particles permeate our ecosystem, and the consequences of our plastic consumption have a profound impact on the natural world.

A collection of new research provides more clues about where and how microplastics are spreading.

A team of researchers from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) have developed an electrolytic process for treating wastewater, degrading microplastics at the source.

Airborne Microplastics: A Global Issue With Implications For Human Health Where do those come from? In 2018, 359 million tons of plastic were manufactured globally. Most of this plastic production was to create macroplastics (fragments over 5 mm in size).... However, this process often succintly creates microplastics as a waste product. E.g. the grinding & chopping of synthetic material can produce significant quantities of microplastic that are small enough to be emitted directly into the…
