Whether on land, in the water, or in the air, microplastics are present everywhere. Numerous studies have already established that plastic particles ranging in size from 0.001 to 5 millimetres hurt marine species. In recent years, microplastics have been found in humans. However, nothing is known about the actual repercussions. A study published in the International Journal of Molecular Science recently investigated how microplastics damage the biology of mice. This allows for the drawing of conclusions about the human body. To ascertain the effects of microplastics on mouse behaviour, inflammatory…

And although the rules that apply there should have gotten around by now, there are still ambiguities. Or is it rather the ignorance of many drivers that is annoying? Some turn left when entering a traffic circle, others don’t turn left when leaving it, and who has the right of way anyway? Lack of clarity about how to behave appropriately before or in a traffic circle increases…

The first contact usually takes place in the first year of life. Even the youngest children like to look at photos or videos on their parents’ smartphones. Among three- to six-year-olds, it is already 81 percent who are on the Internet every day, says Marietheres van Veen, who works as a Safer Internet trainer at schools. “I know how difficult it is for parents to counteract this,” says van Veen, partly because the parents’ generation has not experienced primary digital education.

Many people leave their laptops plugged in all the time. This raises the question of whether constant charging can damage the battery or shorten its life. This is the case with older models, especially since overcharging is risky. The batteries themselves are old and show signs of wear and tear. On the other hand, new models have more robust batteries and improved software, making overcharging less critical, according to PCWelt. In particular, charging processes are stopped in time – the so-called trickle charging helps to keep the batteries fully charged…

Apple will unveil its new-generation iPhone 15 smartphone in mid-September. It will probably be the first to have a USB-C port rather than a Lightning port because of EU regulations.
