Read the latest Microplastics headlines - updated 24/7/365. We link to the best sources from around the world.

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles, typically less than 5 millimetres in size, that result from the breakdown of larger plastic materials or are manufactured as small particles. They can be found in a number of different environments, including oceans, rivers, soil and even the air we breathe. They have become a growing environmental concern due to their persistence, potential harm to wildlife, and possible effects on human health.
