It looks like those single use paper coffee cups can release microplastics into your drink when they're hot. #microplastics
The ~10 year olds at math tutoring are debating whether the FDA approves #plastic water bottles and if that limits the amount of #microplastics in the water. I think the message is getting through. (Spoiler: the FDA does *not* regulate bottled water).
well, well, well...
"A plastic once thought harmless may be fueling fatty liver disease" - www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
"..increased indicators of fatty liver disease even without the added influence of an unhealthy diet."
As #microplastics age, their interactions with toxic metals and natural organic matter can change. #Research also points to possible effects on soil microorganisms, nutrient cycling and #antibiotic resistance genes, although long-term impacts remain uncertain.

Microplastics are picky eaters!
UV light and ozone aging change which natural organic molecules microplastics attract.
π¬ A new study reveals how plastic type, aging, and water chemistry shape these interactions.

Tiny plastics, hidden genetic impacts!
Microplastics can reshape soil microbial genes, disrupt carbon and nitrogen cycling, and promote antibiotic resistance.

π¬ Microplastics have a surprising role in chromium cycling!
Under UV light, aged microplastics achieved 89.9% Cr(VI) reduction through free radicals and dissolved organic matter.
π Discover their hidden chemistry!

Think remote mountain lakes are untouched? Sediment cores from Swiss alpine waters tell a different story. Microplastics in remote lakes can still impact fish in these ecosystems π§ͺπ
