@aquastemconsulting.bsky.social🌊 #AquaSTEMConsulting is proud to be attending the 2026 Great Lakes Microplastics Summit this week!
#Plasticpollution isn’t just an ocean problem. Our lakes, rivers, and freshwater ecosystems are impacted, too .... from the #plastics we can see to the #microplastics we can’t.

@beyondplastics.bsky.socialA new study from the @ejfoundation.org and Paul Angell Foundation looked at the toxicity of the chemicals used in everyday plastic items, focusing on food-contact plastics, textiles, toys, household items, and hygiene and medical items. Their findings are alarming

@jamijr.bsky.socialThe subject of #vampires and #microplastics has been coming up recently so of course I slipped into Constance to have her talk about it.

@lindaash.bsky.socialMicroplastics are now found in human brain tissue, blood, and placentas. The science is no longer theoretical — it's in us. Swapping plastic cutting boards for wood, filtering your water, and ditching plastic containers for heating food are small moves with real stakes. 🧠 #Health #Microplastics
@fossilfreeusa.bsky.social#Microplastics affect plant growth & function. Higher concentrations of microplastics reduced leaf area/chlorophyll content photosynthetic efficiency/plant biomass in lettuce. The smaller the size of microplastics, the more they absorb pollutants/pesticides/toxins.
@fossilfreeusa.bsky.socialFields that had worn tire particles had the highest levels of toxic chemicals & metals. #Microplastics interact with soil bacteria.
@fossilfreeusa.bsky.social#Microplastics were found in 227 agricultural fields across 11 European countries. They are delivering pollutants & pesticides through the soil to any crop grown & later ingested by people.
@newcommunity.bsky.socialAged microplastics are not just passive particles in wastewater. They can boost reactive species and accelerate carbamazepine degradation by 1.2–1.8× in UV-AOPs. The study also shows that faster degradation may form more toxic intermediates.
