Microplastics In Water May Cause Biological Damage, Study Suggests
Original: When Microplastics Interact With Water, They May Produce Particles With The Potential To Cause "Biological Damage"
New research indicates that when microplastics interact with water, they may break down into smaller particles with the potential to cause biological damage. The findings add to growing concern over how plastic pollution affects human health and the environment, with scientists warning that these altered particles could pose risks to living cells.
Why now: Renewed public concern about microplastic pollution and its possible effects on human health.
