A new study from the University of Texas at Arlington has found microscopic plastic pollutants accumulating in the lungs of ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) High levels of microplastics have been detected in the lungs of birds, indicating significant air pollution. Birds, serving as environmental indicators, were ...

Birds are breathing in high levels of airborne microplastics into their lungs—and, likely, so are we, with unclear effects on our health. This is the warning of an international team of ...

An air-filled sac within the birds' lungs is believed to increase the force the birds use to power flight muscles while soaring. Soaring birds -- like osprey, eagles, falcons, even vultures -- can ...

A study found microplastics embedded in the lungs of wild birds, revealing the extent of airborne plastic pollution. Using advanced chemical analysis, researchers identified high concentrations of ...

In short, unlike the lungs of mammals, bird lungs do more than just breathe. An air-filled sac within the birds' lungs is believed to increase the force the birds use to power flight muscles while ...

The brain of a red fox in the Netherlands, for instance, was infected with H5N1 but not the animal’s lungs. Red foxes and mink in Canada similarly had mostly neurological disease. And bird flu ...

Now, an international team of researchers led by University of Florida evolutionary biologist Emma Schachner, Ph.D., has reported for the first time that soaring birds use their lungs to enhance ...
