Summary:
- Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that are less than 5 millimeters in size and are found in many everyday products, from clothing to personal care items.
- These microplastics can end up in the environment, including in our food and water sources, and have been shown to have negative impacts on human health, such as causing inflammation and disrupting hormones.
- Reducing our use of single-use plastics and properly disposing of plastic waste can help mitigate the problem of microplastics and protect our health and the environment.
