The accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments is a contemporary concern of great relevance, however, freshwater ecosystems, particularly re...

Microplastic pollution has emerged as a critical environmental concern, particularly in agricultural soils, where various MP types, including polyethylene, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride accumulat...

Plastic pollution is worsened by warming climate and must be stemmed, researchers warn

CEC events range from large public consultations to small, expert meetings on specific environmental issues.

Fining companies that flout environmental regulations is an effective strategy, if the penalties are severe enough.

Environmental challenges are becoming increasingly interconnected, with climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and resource pressures reinforcing one another in ways that require policies in eac...

A call to ban non-essential microplastics used in cosmetics, festival and holiday decorations - Volume 3

Microplastics—tiny particles now found in food, water, air, and even human tissues—may directly accelerate artery-clogging disease, and new research shows the danger may be far greater for males. In mice, environmentally realistic doses of microplastics dramatically worsened plaque buildup, altered key vascular cells, and activated harmful genes linked to inflammation and atherosclerosis, all without changes to weight or cholesterol.

Research has shown that we are becoming more exposed to microplastics. What can we do about it?

Scientists have long known that plastic waste is bad for marine animals. A new study quantifies how little ingested plastic it takes to be a lethal dose.
