The alarm of Japanese scientists: microplastics also in the clouds
The clouds over Japan reveal a very bad surprise: are microplastics there too, can they affect the climate?

Scientists have found 9 types of microplastics in the human heart, some even during surgery
No final proof, but many scientific "clues": we need to take action on PET bottled water, and quickly.
We inhale invisible fibers of microplastics, in concentrations up to 28 times higher when we are indoors. It's red alert.
A powder additive can remove microplastics 1.000 times smaller than those currently detectable by wastewater treatment plants
Many of us have plastic dust coursing through our veins, directly into the bloodstream.
Polluting less is possible, as is reducing the number of microplastics. The Pureback wheel collects debris and protects the environment.
A study has found that detectable amounts of microplastics in the environment can kill human cells and produce serious reactions.
Everywhere: land, water and air. Microplastics are set to significantly influence climate change within the next 30 years.
In fruit through irrigation, in our body through food and now also in newborns through the placenta. Microplastics are unstoppable.
A device capable of capturing microplastics from tires? It is the invention of a collective of designers who won the Dyson Award.
Cold shower in an already compromised framework: contrary to popular belief, microplastics penetrate fruit and vegetables through the roots. Now they are practically everywhere.
Nanocellulose can be used to sample water, or eliminate microplastics directly where they are produced.
From oceans to soil, the polluting impact of tires is everywhere. Let's find out together how to deal with this problem.
