⛑️Well this is NUTS: Scientists Confirm Microplastics Now Detected in Human Testicles. 🔬Research led by the University of New Mexico looked at testicular tissue taken from both dogs and humans, finding microplastics in EVERY SAMPLE, with an abundance almost three times higher in humans than in dogs. The team found an average 122.63 micrograms of microplastics per gram of tissue in canines, and 329.44 micrograms per gram in people. 📰 READ the article HERE: https://lnkd.in/e6ZRdCUU 📰 READ the research HERE: https://lnkd.in/ekXkv8Wh 👚The LARGEST source of primary microplastics in our oceans comes from synthetic fibre shed.

Plastic pollution is considered one of today’s main environmental problems. With worldwide production rates of 460 million tons per year and recycling rates being only at 9%, more and more plastic debris is ending up in the environment. Read about how #MATLAB Statistics and Machine Learning toolbox and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used to identify plastics in aquatic environments. #machinelearning #plasticpollution

Scientists are still understanding the complex and compounding issues with #plasticpollution. As plastic breaks down into tinier and tinier pieces (eventually #nanoplastics), its pervasiveness and toxicity increase in the environment, harming humans and nature. ☣ Listen to NSF’s latest episode of "The Discovery Files" as Lauren Pincus, an environmental chemist and postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University, explains how plastic degrades, how it interacts with inorganic materials in the environment and what we might do to help prevent it. https://apple.co/48bYGAx #plasticpollution

Check out the article behind the front cover of the latest issue of Environmental Science: Atmospheres 🌦 - A fluorescence approach for an online measurement technique of atmospheric microplastics - from Hinrich Grothe and colleagues at Technische Universität Wien and The University of British Columbia. Plastic pollution is a major environmental problem 🥤 - airborne microplastics and nanoplastics are of particular concern due to the possibility of inhalation and resulting health risks. In this important and innovative work they demonstrate the use of the autofluorescence of microplastic particles for their online detection with a high sensitivity towards different widely used polymers.
