Medicine & TechnologyNew research recently showed that plastic pollution is clogging river systems for substantially longer compared to previously thought.
Cleaning oil spills and preserving marine life has been challenging with the disastrous oil spills and expansion of oil exploration. For years, scientists have been developing eco-friendly ways to clean up oil pollution and protect marine life.
As microplastic pollution becomes a growing problem, fibers have been identified as a major pollutant. Recently, researchers have identified another potential major pollutant: tires.
