Daily home activities – like folding clothes and sitting on a sofa – could give off clouds of microplastics, scientists warn | Science, Climate & Tech News
admin
Routine domestic activities could expose people to a cloud of plastic particles so small that they can be inhaled deep into the lungs, according to research seen exclusively by Sky News. The study at the University of Portsmouth found a fitness workout on a synthetic carpet could result in up to 110 plastic fibres or…

Microplastics found in penises for first time, researchers say – raising questions over impact on sexual health | Science & Tech News
admin
Microplastics have been found in penises for the first time, with scientists raising questions about their impact on sexual health. A study, published in science journal Nature, assessed the tissue from six men who had undergone surgery treating erectile dysfunction. In 80% of the samples, seven types of microplastics were identified, with some as small…

Microplastics in clouds may be contributing to climate change, research suggests | Science & Tech News
admin
Researchers have found tiny particles of plastic in clouds, where they may be contributing to climate change. Scientists collected water from the clouds surrounding Japan’s Mount Fuji and Mount Oyama at altitudes between 1,300-3,776m and then applied advanced imaging techniques to determine whether microplastics were present. Nine different types of polymers and one type of…
