Microplastics: A Pervasive Threat to Health

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that are increasingly prevalent in the environment and pose a significant health risk. They can be found in fresh fruits, vegetables, water, and potentially even the air. This widespread issue stems from everyday products that shed plastic particles into the environment, making it nearly impossible to avoid exposure. Recent findings have linked microplastics to various health problems, underscoring the urgency to understand their origins and take steps to minimize contact.
