Microplastics found in human lungs
Plastic is ubiquitous in social life, and most of the plastic waste is buried in garbage dumps and natural environments. Plastic waste will be broken down into submillimeter fragments, that is, microplastics (Microplastics). The mass production and consumption of plastics in the world, inadequate treatment of plastics, slow degradation of plastics and other reasons lead to the widespread and long-term existence of microplastics in the environment. The potential impact of microplastics on the environment and human health has aroused increasing concern.

Carbon Brief reviews the most closely watched climate articles in 2019
In 2019, the two climate papers with the highest Altmetric scores were critical articles. One is the World scientists' warning on the Climate crisis (World Scientists' Warning of a Climate Emergency) in the journal BioScience, with an Altmetric score of 10950. The article "makes it clear that the earth is facing a climate crisis", especially when it was signed by 11258 scientists from 153 countries and attracted media attention. The other is "Climate tipping Point-the risk of betting that the Climate tipping Point will not come" (Climate Tipping Points- Too Risky to Bet Against) in Nature magazine, with an Altmetric score of 8552. The article reached a similarly stark conclusion, warning that the evidence from the climate tipping point alone suggests that we are in a state of planetary crisis, in which the risk and urgency are very serious. The two papers ranked third and fifth with the highest Altmetric scores of all the studies published in 2019, respectively. However, since they are critical articles, they are not included in the Carbon Brief list of research papers.

Haputhale
Haputale, which is located in the Badulla District of the Uva Province at a height of 1431 meters above sea level, is part of that region. One of the three main tea-producing regions in Sri Lanka is called Uva, and it stretches from Haputale to Badulla. Haputale is flanked by hills covered in cloud forests and slopes covered with tea plantations. Train travel is one method to explore this region. On the route from Kandy or Nanu Oya (Nuwara Eliya) to Ella or Badulla, there is a train station called Haputale. The Colombo-Badulla route (A16 highway from Beragala to Hali Ela) passes via the Haputale pass, from which a side road leads to Nuwara Eliya. When traveling from the central highlands to the southern beaches, Haputale offers a variety of guesthouses, some of which are extremely elegant and others with breathtaking views, inviting travelers to stay a night or two. For instance, Thotalagala is a seven-suite, opulent boutique hotel. It was previously a residence for tea plantation owners. In the Best Destination Hotel category of the 2017 Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellent, Thotalagala took first place. With roughly 5000 people living there, Haputale town is a calm small community. Haputale's climate is chilly but often not frigid because of its altitude.

Five Reasons Why People Like Sustainable Energy
Sustainable energy, or clean energy, is important for our environment and society at large. Solar power and wind power are two of the most popular sustainable energy sources because they're free and emit little to no greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But there are many other benefits that make these and other forms of clean energy appealing, such as the fact that they won't run out in the future (unlike fossil fuels) and are fairly reliable year-round. Here are five reasons why people like sustainable energy.
