Researchers say plastic pollution is undermining oceans’ role as key natural buffer against climate change - Anadolu Ajansı ...

Microplastics could be disrupting how oceans absorb and store carbon, potentially undermining a natural buffer that helps ...

Plastics', analysed 89 studies from 2010 to 2025, including peer-reviewed research and international reports, to assess the ...

Microplastics are so pervasive they have even been discovered in the deepest known part of the ocean: the Mariana Trench. While it has been long understood that microplastics exist on the surface of ...

Millions of tons of microplastics flow into the ocean every year, but tracking the movement and accumulation of those microscopic polymers is difficult. A new study builds a theory of how spherical ...
