Last update: 7 hours agoMicroplastics and health: A new study presented at the European Respiratory Society meeting reports microplastics in 66% of lung cancer patients’ lung fluid samples versus 46% in cancer-free patients, with higher particle burdens in those with cancer. Researchers say inhaled particles may drive oxidative stress and inflammation, but they still can’t say whether microplastics cause cancer or diseased lungs simply retain more. Cross-border clean-up in the region: Cyprus’ “Tourism Cares: Unite for Cleaner Destinations” is expanding to Greece for a Sept. 25, 2026 clean-up campaign, targeting waste reduction and underwater clean-ups across beaches, coastlines and nature trails. Energy transition in Greece: PPC is moving to repurpose a lignite-era site near Kozani with an Amazon Web Services data-center plan, aiming for long-term rental income and new electricity demand via long-term power deals. Maritime policy and shipping: Cyprus is consulting a draft law to widen access to its ship registry while tightening sanctions and updating ship-finance rules. Workplace wellbeing: An EU push for stronger protections follows findings that nearly half of workers in Greece report stress, depression or anxiety, with Finland also among the highest.
