#Microplastic brain infiltration could also decrease glial fibrillary acidic protein, GFAP. “A decrease in GFAP has been associated with early stages of some neurodegenerative diseases, including mouse models of #Alzheimer’s disease,as well as depression.” 👀

Pollution Solution: New Device Can Capture 99.9% of Microplastics in Water Using Wood Dust
> UBC’s BioProducts Institute develops a plant-based filter, "bioCap," that can capture nearly 99.9% of microplastic particles in water, offering a scalable and sustainable solution to microplastic pollution. Could plants offer a solution to the looming threat of microplastic pollution? Scientists

Recently, I've found out that microplastics are often added into personal care products. For example toothpaste, shower gels, body and face lotions. 🙀

#idw Artificial rocks from #macroplastics threaten #ocean health.
#German-#Indonesian research team identifies new rock-like compounds from #plastic waste and #coral rubble for the first time. It poses an increased #environment|al risk to coastal #ecosystems such as #seagrass beds, #mangroves or #coral reefs. The melted #plastic decomposes more quickly into #microplastic|s and is also contaminated with organic pollutants. https://idw-online.de/en/news818167

In our new paper, we assessed #Microplastic pollution on #Arctic beaches with the help of #Citizenscience: we detected large particles (>1mm) only on 2 beaches, but sampling efforts varied. The high abundance of similar particles points to in situ fragmentation of fishing gear.

Over the past ten years, Dr. Palanisami has expanded his research focus to include contaminant transformation products (CTPs). These CTPs, which are often more bioavailable and toxic than the parent chemicals, are not well understood. His research involves tracking these transformation products through the environment and their impact on human health using in vitro and in vivo tools. Recently, his research has focused on the risk assessment and remediation of emerging contaminants such as microplastics and Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS).

Would be great if you care that the material never relsaes too much #microplastic concerning fiber and printing.
