Researchers from Spanish and Portuguese scientific institutions have developed a mathematical model capable of detecting the movement of microplastics in marine waters.
This work is highly useful for monitoring polluting discharges and provides a valuable tool for environmental control.

Chinese scientists have taken a step further in the fight against microplastics. They have created a **filter with squid bone and cotton** that promises to eliminate 99.9% of this material.
The **plastic pollution** is a global problem that directly affects...
Scientists from the city of Mar del Plata have confirmed a significant finding: the presence of microplastics in endangered dolphins.
The discovery was made by the research group "Marine Mammals," composed of professionals from the Institute of Marine and Coastal...
A study conducted by the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) detected the presence of microplastics in tea bags. They were found in commercial ones made with polymers.
Apparently, these "release" millions of microplastics and nanoplastics in each infusion.
The danger of...
There is no way to avoid microplastics from reaching the human body. Whether it's in food and its packaging, in our homes, furniture, and clothing, or even in our environment.
Plastics also affect our health in ways we are just...
Microplastic pollution has been identified as one of the most serious environmental threats. However, a recent breakthrough by Chinese scientists could change this situation. A team of researchers from Wuhan University in China has developed a biodegradable sponge capable...
A team of Japanese scientists has created what until recently seemed impossible: 100% biodegradable plastic. It is a material that completely decomposes in the sea within a few hours.
Moreover, it is as resistant as conventional plastics. The still experimental...
