Researchers in San Antonio have made a discovery about microplastics. They found that microplastics can have negative effects on microscopic worms, including shortening their lifespan and disrupting reproduction. Microplastics may also carry harmful chemicals, according to the researchers.

This finding suggests that microplastics can act as vehicles for toxins. Further details about the study are available from the San Antonio Report, a local nonprofit newsroom. The information was initially posted on their website, providing more insight into the research and its implications.
