Woodruff, who has studied the effect of some chemicals found in plastics on human health, reproduction, and development for two decades, first started looking into microplastics in 2021.
Professor Fay Couceiro leads a team that researches the potential health impacts of microplastics. Not microwaving food in plastic is just one way she reduces her exposure.
People with microplastics and nanoplastics in plaque lining a major blood vessel in their neck may have a higher risk of heart attack, stroke or death, new research suggests. Doctors found tiny ...
Humans are exposed to toxic chemicals and microplastics at all stages in the plastics life cycle. The effects of microplastics on human health are a growing concern and an actively increasing area of research. Tiny particles known as microplastics (MPs), have been found in various environmental and biological matrices, including air, water ...
According to a 2019 comprehensive review of scientific evidence published by the European Union's Scientific Advice Mechanism, little was known with respect to the human health risks of nano- and microplastics, and what was known was surrounded by considerable uncertainty. The main limitations were the quality or methodology of the research to ...

[8] [9] Primary microplastics make up between 15% and 31% of the growing amount of marine microplastic pollution, which is related to the corporative expansion of large-scale plastic production. [9] Like microbeads, preproduction plastic pellets can be released directly into the environment as a form of primary microplastic pollution. [9]
