Study: Chewing gum releases hundreds of microplastic particles into the body

A recent study presented at the American Chemical Society shows that chewing gum can release hundreds of microplastic particles into the mouth. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) analyzed the chemical composition of a...

Microplasticele din placentă, asociate cu naşterea prematură

O cercetare recentă a descoperit că microplasticele şi nanoplasticele sunt prezente în cantităţi semnificativ mai mari în placenta bebeluşilor născuţi prematur comparativ cu cei născuţi la termen. Studiul, realizat de o echipă de cercetători din...

Microplastics in the Placenta Linked to Premature Birth

A new study has found that microplastics and nanoplastics are present in significantly higher amounts in the placentas of babies born prematurely compared to those born at term. The study, conducted by a team of researchers in the US, suggests...

From chemical pollution and unsustainable agricultural practices, to the effects of climate change and overexploitation of water, all these challenges require firm and swift action. The AEM report is both a wake-up call and a call to action.

Europe in crisis: water health at risk

Water is one of the vital resources of life which is heavily affected by pollution.

Millions of tons of plastic are suffocating aquatic ecosystems

Plastic pollution continues to threaten aquatic environments at an alarming rate, with millions of tonnes of waste ending up in rivers and oceans every year. According to a recent report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and...

Microplasticele, ameninţare pentru Antarctica

Poluarea pe scară largă a apelor lumii de către milioanele de tone de deşeuri a inundat oceanele cu microplastice. Acestea sunt rezultatul degradării fizice şi chimice a obiectelor, proces care durează sute de ani. Consecinţele acestui fenomen...

Microplastics, a threat to Antarctica

The widespread pollution of the world's waters by millions of tons of waste has flooded the oceans with microplastics. These are the result of the physical and chemical degradation of objects, a process that lasts hundreds of years. The...

Fizica nucleară, folosită pentru studiul microplasticelor din natură

Chestiunea microplasticelor, care ajung în natură, este studiată cu "instrumente" de mare acurateţe. Cantitatea de microplastice din Antarctica este analizată cu ajutorul fizicii nucleare prin studierea apelor din regiune, a sedimentelor...

Nuclear Physics Used to Study Microplastics in Nature

The issue of microplastics ending up in nature is being studied with highly accurate "tools." The quantity of microplastics in Antarctica is being analyzed using nuclear physics by studying the region's waters, marine sediments, and...

Zeci de tone de microplastic se regăsesc în apele Dunării

Poluarea apelor este o problemă majoră. Sectorul românesc al Dunării transportă anual, în medie, 48,5 tone de microplastic (MiPs) şi 48 tone de macroplastic (MaPs), arată rezultatele unui studiu al Asociaţiei MaiMultVerde. Conform documentului,...

Tens of tons of microplastics can be found in the waters of the Danube

Water pollution is a major issue. The Romanian sector of the Danube transports an average of 48.5 tons of microplastics (MiPs) and 48 tons of macroplastics (MaPs) annually, as shown by the results of a study conducted by the MaiMultVerde...

UN: The climate crisis represents a major barrier to combating hunger.

Calls from major international organizations regarding environmental protection and pollution control are becoming more frequent. Every fraction of a degree and every ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) counts in limiting global warming, says the UN. The...
