Microplastics Are Ubiquitous
Microplastics, tiny plastic particles typically measuring between one micron to five millimeters, are found in various aspects of daily life, including the air we breathe, food and beverages, and the packaging we use. These particles can lodge themselves in every organ and tissue of the body, raising health concerns due to their potential to disrupt cellular and organ health. While definitive causal relationships linking microplastics to specific diseases in humans have not yet been established, the overwhelming presence of these plastics calls for greater awareness and understanding of their impact on health. It is important to recognize that microplastics are pervasive in our environment, making it challenging to completely eliminate them from our lives.
