Researchers are uncovering how microplastic particles are carried in wind, rain and snow to remote regions of our planet.
New research suggests that an effective way to locate and track large concentrations of microplastics in the ocean could be from high in the sky.
As more and more plastic trash permeates the oceans, fragments are making their way into fish and shellfish – and potentially into humans.
Polluted oceans don't just harm wildlife, they are a source of ill health for humans too.
Shaking polypropylene bottles and washing them with very hot water can release millions of tiny plastic particles. Here are four ways to reduce exposure.
As face marks and coverings become compulsory worldwide, littering and their potential impact on the environment increases.
Too many small yachts and speedboats are simply being abandoned to shed toxins and microplastics into the sea.
The discovery that such a common animal can rapidly produce vast numbers of nanoplastics is particularly worrying.
