Microplastics are chemically active and may cause biological harm
Original: Microplastics are chemically active and could cause biological harm
New reporting highlights that microplastics are not just inert particles: they are chemically active, capable of interacting with biological systems and potentially causing harm to living organisms. The finding adds to growing concern over how widespread plastic pollution may affect human and environmental health beyond physical accumulation in tissues.
Why now: Renewed scientific attention to microplastics' chemical reactivity and health risks
