A single laundry load containing synthetic clothing can release thousands of plastic microfibers from nylon, acrylic and polyester materials. Lab testing of an SA-made washing machine filter at Flinders University shows it can be a useful new way to help protect waterways from polyester and other synthetic microparticles.

The Baltimore Banner enters a new year — and a new chapter — with a new editor-in-chief
Local journalism is shrinking in much of the country — but The Baltimore Banner is moving in the opposite direction.
