The presence of microplastics in ocean animals suggests that they can travel out of the digestive tract and lodge in the tissues.

The Joule heating effect offers a way to break down PFAS, or "forever chemicals," on wastewater treatment filters.

Researchers have detected elevated PFAS levels in the blood of pet dogs and horses, even in dogs that only drank bottled water.

After wildfire smoke from Canada blanketed the East Coast of the US, experts explain the serious health risks smoke poses.

"Air pollution is one of the very few prominent, modifiable environmental risk factors in Alzheimer's disease."

Skiers and snowboarders who wax their equipment may be exposing themselves to harmful PFAS and other chemicals, a new study shows.

Recycling waste plastic isn't effective because there's no money in it. But what if all that plastic could become nanomaterials?

New research predicts nutrient loading, which puts certain areas of the US at heightened risk of harmful algal blooms.

Pregnant rats who eat nanoscale plastic bits pass them to their unborn offspring, research finds. Is the same true for humans?
