Microplastic Pollution Threatens Global Food Security
Microplastic pollution is hindering photosynthesis, potentially decreasing global food production by up to 13.5 percent for staple crops and 7 percent for seafood, according to a recent study, threatening food security for millions; however, a 13 percent reduction in microplastic levels could preven...

Sydney's Sewage System: Billions of Microplastics Pollute Coastal Waters
Sydney's Malabar wastewater treatment plant discharges 5.4 billion to 120 billion microplastics daily into the ocean due to its outdated primary treatment, while the more advanced Cronulla plant discharges far less; this pollution, along with human waste, threatens marine life and coastal areas.

Alarming Microplastic Pollution Found in European Rivers
A Tara Foundation study reveals alarming microplastic pollution in nine European rivers, averaging three particles per cubic meter, though high flow rates indicate substantial pollution. A quarter of French river microplastics were industrial raw materials, not waste. The EU is negotiating stricter ...
