This week we bring you application notes by Agilent Technologies, Shimadzu, poster by MDCW and technical note by Thermo Fisher Scientific!
Microplastics as particles are still an open topic, but the risks associated with their additives are known, says environmental toxicologist Ondřej Adamovský
But how do microplastics actually interact with the human body? What impact do they have on our environment and our health? Is it true that they penetrate places like the brain or placenta?
