Microplastics might be wreaking havoc on the environment, but a new study states that the number of such particles in the atmosphere isn't as much as previously feared. However, they remain a major hazard to human health.

Microplastics in air could be much less than previous estimates: Study

An analysis of the air above two major Chinese cities has revealed the presence of a toxic element that has ripped through the world. Microplastics and nanoplastics have been hovering for so long that they are even triggering the formation of plastic clouds.

Plastic clouds found hovering over two major Chinese cities shock scientists

 Millions of tonnes of microplastics enter the oceans every year. A study has analysed how these particles move through the water. The theory presented by two scientists from Massachusetts shows they are acting differently than other particles thrown in the ocean.

8 million tons of plastic is ripping through the oceans like tornadoes

A man has created plastoline, a fuel from plastics. It uses solar energy to break down plastic into the fuel that can then be converted into jet fuel, gasoline and a clean fuel alternative.

Microplastics have now been discovered inside human bones, causing yet another concern about plastic production and its presence in the environment. It has already entered the water, the human brain, testicles, penis and is even known to cause blockages.
