Shaking polypropylene bottles and washing them with very hot water can release millions of tiny plastic particles. Here are four ways to reduce exposure.

The discovery that such a common animal can rapidly produce vast numbers of nanoplastics is particularly worrying.

New research reveals how roads channel microplastics from car tires and brake pads to remote ocean habitats.

Our research on a remote Antarctic island found microplastics in the intestines of tiny animals.

Here's how microplastics from your clothes end up in the deep sea.
