Critics like Roger Pielke Jr. who question […]

Plastic bottles may degrade over time, raising microplastic risks for long-stored water
Plastic bottles, not the water itself, carry a “best before” date (18 months to 2 years) — after which the plastic may begin to degrade and release microplastics. Microplastics (as small as ~2 micrometres) have been found in human lungs, placentas, breast milk and blood, raising concerns about internal exposure. Some researchers link microplastic ingestion […]

Microplastics found in women’s follicular fluid and men’s seminal fluid
A study in Salerno, Italy, found microplastics (MPs) in 14 out of 18 women’s ovarian follicular fluid undergoing IVF. The particles were under 10 µm in size, averaging about 4.5 µm in diameter. The concentration of MPs in these samples averaged about 2,191 particles per milliliter, with a range from 0 to 7,181 p/ml. There […]

Study finds early exposure to air and light pollution may raise pediatric thyroid cancer risk

The study involved 736 cases of childhood thyroid cancer (age 0-19) and 36,800 matched […]
