Nanoscale plastic particles like those that permeate most food and water pass from pregnant rats to their unborn children and may impair fetal development, according to a Rutgers study that suggests ...

Princeton Engineering researchers are combining their expertise in chemical engineering, materials and computation to design crystalline materials that can be used to mitigate pollution or make ...

Early humans harnessed organic compounds, transition metals, and salts, but they largely avoided fluorine until the nineteenth century. At that time, chemists known as the “fluorine martyrs” ...

Researchers find that tiny plastic particles increase the absorption of environmental arsenic and pesticides in lettuce and human intestinal cells, raising new safety concerns about plastic pollution.

New research traces plastics from food to placentas to fetal organs. Nanoscale plastic particles like those that permeate most food and water pass from pregnant rats to their unborn children and may ...
