"During food intake, the water flows through the permeable funnel wall, is filtered, and the particle-free water is then ...

More microplastics and forever chemicals are popping up in our drinking water. As a public health expert, I rounded up seven ...

Washing machines release massive amounts of microplastics into the environment, mostly from worn clothing fibers. Researchers ...

Sadly, we know that microplastics are getting everywhere, including our drinking water – but researchers have developed a new way to tackle the problem: a filter made of a rather unusual combination ...

Washing machine wastewater is one of the top sources of microplastics, with a single unit in a four-person household producing up to 500 grams a year as synthetic fabrics break down.

With microplastics now found even in Antarctic snow, experts say it’s time to ditch bottled water and switch to smarter filtration systems that can help protect your health.

Researchers at the University of Bonn have developed a new filter designed to remove microplastics from washing machine wastewater. The filter, which is patent-pending, was inspired by the gill arch ...

Microplastics have been detected almost everywhere on Earth, from the deep oceans to the poles to the highest mountain peaks, and even inside the human body. As a result, microplastic pollution has ...
