@theinnovation.bsky.socialCould #microplastics be disrupting global #aquaticcalcium cycles? Xu et al. highlight how microplastic surfaces act as active platforms driving microbial CaCO3 mineralization—offering a fresh perspective on the long-term geochemical impacts of plastic pollution.

@healthcare-europe.bsky.social🫁 People with #lungcancer are more likely to have #microplastics in their lungs and to have larger quantities of microplastics in their lungs, according to new research from 🇮🇪 @ucdmedicine.bsky.social, presented at the @europeanrespsoc.bsky.social's #ERSCongress.

@crystal159.bsky.social#Microplastics are usually consumed through food and water, but more recently, they are making their way into #Indonesia’s air and rain. Sui-Lee Wee, our Asia business correspondent, traveled to Jakarta, the capital, to find out why.

@newcommunity.bsky.socialMicroplastics can reshape heavy metal risks in soil, but not in the same way for every metal.
A new review compares Pb, Cr, Cd, As, and Hg, revealing metal-specific responses to plastic aging, biofilms, and polymer type.
