Summary:
- Microplastics, tiny pieces of plastic less than 5 millimeters in size, are becoming increasingly prevalent in the environment and even in the air we breathe.
- Researchers have found that people can inhale thousands of these microplastics every day, which can potentially have negative health effects on the human body.
- Further research is needed to fully understand the long-term impacts of microplastic inhalation, but it is clear that reducing plastic pollution and finding ways to minimize microplastic exposure should be a priority.
