Microplastics found to be chemically active
Original: Microplastics are chemically active and could cause biological harm
New reporting says microplastics are not just inert particles: they can act chemically, interacting with surrounding materials and potentially causing biological harm in living organisms. The finding adds to growing concern about how pervasive plastic particles affect human health and ecosystems, and is likely to fuel ongoing debate over plastic pollution and regulation.
Why now: Rising public and scientific concern about the health effects of microplastics
