How are microplastics harmful to marine life? What causes nitrates in an aquatic ecosystem to decrease? How is nitrogen in the air converted into nitrates? How does eutrophication affect humans? How are amoebas harmful? What are the consequences of eutrophication?
including Antarctica. But how those particles move through and accumulate in the environment is poorly understood. Now aPrinceton Universitystudy has revealed the mechanism by which microplastics, like Styrofoam, and particulate pollutants are carried long distances...
Jihyun Moon, Devin O'Connor, China Lunde, and Beth Thompson, have taken advantage of the information from sequenced grass genomes to study how the reproductive structures of maize are formed. Dr. Hake, of the Plant Gene Expression Center, USDA-ARS, who is the 2007 recipient of the Stephen...
Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic, less than 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) across, that are either manufactured to be tiny or are worn down from larger pieces. Regardless of how they’re formed, they’re small enough that they can collect in some hard-to-reach places. Research, presente...
very close to its parent star – to have been discovered around such a young star. Although hot Jupiters were the first type of exoplanet to be discovered, their existence has long puzzled astronomers because they are often thought to be too close to their parent stars to have formed in ...
Microplastics, PFAS, and phthalates: understanding health risks and a framework for minimizing exposure and mitigating risk Ep. #332 (AMA #67) Risks Premium Article All things blood pressure: from measurement to management Disclaimer:This blog is for general informational purposes only and does not ...
Du Huanzheng also proposed the concept of "marine PM2.5". "'marine PM2.5 'mainly comes from primary and secondary microplastics. The industrial products of plastic particles enter the ocean through rivers or sewage, and decompose into smaller particles under the natural action, or the plastic gar...
Microplastics are formed when a plastic product is exposed to external stresses, such as wear and friction, or impact, tensile and bending stresses. Additionally, internal stresses in a product can cause the formation of microparticles. These can occur during swelling or shrinkage of (part of) th...
Some problems have been reduced (e.g., FCKW, DDT, and acid rain), whereas other problems have been enhanced (e.g., light pollution, microplastics, forests dying, and air pollution). Currently, the term environmental awareness is perceived by some scientists as environmental knowledge, attitudes...
If you've spilt cement between the layer lines (and couldn't wipe it off whilst it was still wet) you can paint over it (I recommend against sanding as the microplastics are incredibly harmful to both you and the environment). If you don't like the cement appearance from the opening, ...
