Scientists sound alarming discoveries in 21 days of studying crustaceans: “unprecedented threats”

Chinese scientists studying mittens found inside microplastics. What is going on? Analysis of 21 days of crustaceans found that the low pH level “complicates” the toxicity of microplastics in the synergistic scenario, which causes stress, immune suppression and altered intestinal microbiota, says experts from the Chinese National Science Fund, Shanghai Natural Sciences. Microplasty is microscopic … Read more
