Microplastics found in all Nova Scotia lobster tails raise food safety and health concerns.

Microplastics have been found in the tails of lobsters caught off Nova Scotia, according to a study led by Dalhousie University researchers. All tested lobsters contained microplastics, primarily from polyester, adhesives, and marine-grade plastics, raising concerns about contamination in the human food supply and potential health risks. The findings highlight growing plastic pollution in marine ecosystems, with possible impacts on both marine life and human health, and underscore the need for further research and stronger environmental policies.
