Awesome finding! 😎
In the interim, folks might throw a couple of #sardine fish into every wash cycle to remove #microplastics from waste water. They can conveniently be had in prepackaged cans at grocery stores.

"Crickets munch on microplastics—especially if they have a big mouth"

To a human, microplastics are very small at less than 5 millimeters (mm) wide. But to an insect, microplastics might be the same size as the food they usually eat. Researchers reporting in the journal Environmental Science & Technology have shown that crickets can and will consume polyethylene microplastics if their mouth is larger than the plastic particle. The study suggests that crickets—and likely many other insects—cannot distinguish plastic from food.
They’re too small to see, yet microplastics are now being detected inside children’s bodies 🧠👶 From brain health to immune systems, the potential risks are too important for parents to ignore. Here’s what the latest research reveals and how you can take action now.💙

#Nanoplastics are #plastic particles smaller than 1,000 nanometers in diameter, or 100 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, and they are polluting our environment and our food, to the extent that they are now being found in human blood, lungs, placenta, and even breast milk.

Nanoplastics, and their slightly larger cousins microplastics, are polluting our environment and our food. The study of these tiny particles is still a relatively new field and in this blog post for British Science Week we’ll explore how scientists are

An optical sieve—an array of optically resonant voids in gallium arsenide—enables sorting, detecting and counting nanoplastics as small as a few hundreds of nanometres at concentrations as low as 150 μg ml−1 in lake water samples.
