Higher Microplastic Concentrations Found in Human Brains
A Nature Medicine study reveals significantly higher microplastic concentrations in human brains compared to other organs, with levels 7 to 30 times greater in brain tissue than in the liver or kidneys, potentially due to the brain's high fat content and the hydrophobic nature of microplastics. Glob...

Galician Shellfish Production Collapses Amidst Pollution and Climate Change
Galicia's shellfish production plummeted in 2024, with mussel yields at their lowest (178,000 tons) in years due to heavy rainfall reducing salinity, pollution exceeding legal limits by 10%, and the looming threat of new industrial projects.

Microplastics Linked to 200x Increase in Deadly Superbugs
New research from Oxford University reveals microplastics are increasing the spread of deadly superbugs by up to 200 times, potentially causing millions of deaths by 2050 due to a lack of global plastic waste governance, despite the UK Government's strategy to combat drug-resistant infections.

Microplastics Accumulate in Human Brains: A Growing Concern
A study of 52 human cadavers (2016-2024) found that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate more in human brains than in livers or kidneys; concentrations increased over time and were higher in individuals with dementia.

Limitations of AQI in Assessing Wildfire Smoke's Health Risks
Los Angeles' air quality improved as the Palisades and Eaton wildfires were brought under control; however, the fires released numerous unmonitored toxic substances into the air, highlighting the limitations of the Air Quality Index (AQI) in fully assessing health risks.
