People who experience sleep apnea may be more likely to also have memory or thinking problems, according to a preliminary study. The study shows a positive association but did not determine whether sleep apnea causes cognitive decline. People who experience sleep apnea may be more likely to also have memory or thinking problems, according to …

Nano- and microplastics are seemingly everywhere — water, soil and the air. While many creative strategies have been attempted to get rid of these plastic bits, one unexpectedly effective solution for cleaning up drinking water, specifically, might be as simple as brewing a cup of tea or coffee. Boiling and filtering calcium-containing tap water could …
