Objective To investigate the puncture resistance of a recently introduced non-latex, nitrile dental glove in comparison with a latex glove worn during routine clinical dental procedures. Setting ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have identified a hidden source of error in microplastic measurements: the gloves ...

Defects in nitrile gloves prior to use may not be significantly different in number from natural latex gloves. Nitrile gloves may provide satisfactory barrier protection and could be of value to ...

In A Nutshell Common lab gloves can leave behind residues that look like microplastics under standard tests. A single touch can create thousands of false positives, potentially skewing pollution data.

Scientists may have been unknowingly inflating microplastics pollution estimates, and the surprising source could be their own lab gloves. A University of Michigan study found that common nitrile and ...

A University of Michigan researcher stumbled upon a crucial caveat for every study of microplastics—lab gloves may have ...

Nitrile and latex gloves worn by scientists measuring microplastics may lead to a potential overestimation of the tiny ...
