New research looks at how removing old subsea oil and gas pipes might be adding microplastics to the UK's marine environment. #microplastics

Your T-shirt faded on the shoulders but is still perfectly strong. Why does sunlight take the color long before it tears the fabric? A short thread on the photochemistry that keeps going after the color is gone. 🧵 #Microplastics #Science

Ban plastic clothing, also natural fibers mixed with plastic.

🌊 #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.

A 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

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

#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.

Fields that had worn tire particles had the highest levels of toxic chemicals & metals. #Microplastics interact with soil bacteria.

#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.
