#PlasticsTreaty It’s extremely worrying to hear about intimidation and harassment of scientists by industry at #INC4. The #right2science requires protection for scientists. There should be zero tolerance for industry misconduct.

🆕 A newly developed analysis technique found up to 240,000 plastic fragments per liter present in bottled drinking water💧 90% of these were nanoplastics, and the measured levels exceed previous estimates by at least a factor of 10. Read more ➡️ auroraresearch.eu/studies-review…

Two recent studies have associated microplastic exposure with cancer: ➡️ New research links PVC microplastics to liver toxicity and lung cancer. ➡️ Scientists find polystyrene nanoplastics may accelerate ovarian cancer growth Learn more 👉 auroraresearch.eu/two-studies-as…


🥼 A recent article finds the presence of microplastics and plastic additives in the placenta and amniotic fluid of ten women who experienced premature births. While association cannot be clearly made, more research is warranted. Read more ➡️ auroraresearch.eu/scientists-det…
