Background Drinking water is a major source of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposure in contaminated communities. Even after mitigation, residents may still have elevated serum PFAS ...
In a report published in Marine Pollution Bulletin, researchers from Kyushu University have for the first time, provided a clear numerical target for global efforts to tackle marine plastic pollution.
Halting new marine plastic inputs by 2050 is the core objective of the Osaka Blue Ocean Vision, which was shared and endorsed ...
New research has shown that blue sharks’ intestines act like temporary holding tanks, trapping fibers long enough to build up significant amounts. Their epic migrations mean they can spread these ...
Think of ocean plastic and you may picture bottles and bags bobbing on the waves, slowly drifting out to sea. Yet the reality is more complex and far more persistent. Even if we stopped all plastic ...
One of the biggest issues facing our oceans is plastic waste. Damage to economies, industry, and the environment is estimated to cost the world $2.5 trillion annually. But there's hope on the horizon.
In the oceans, the most widespread type of plastic pollution may be the kind you can’t see. A new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature estimates that the North Atlantic Ocean alone contains ...
Whale sharks, already listed as endangered, face an array of human-induced threats such as fishing bycatch, vessel strikes, and habitat degradation among them. Pollution adds another, more insidious ...
So-called “ghost gear”, fishing equipment which is lost in the sea, can continue killing marine life for decades or even centuries after it first enters the ocean, making it the most deadly form of ...

An estimated 171 trillion pieces of plastic are lurking in the world’s oceans, and plastic production is expected to triple by 2060 if no changes are made. This growth could result in a significant ...
Researchers examine the specific impacts of microplastics on the geophysics of sea foam formation in the critical zone where water meets air in the top layer of the ocean. They devised two simulations ...
