Microplastics

Tiny plastic particles found in food, water, air, and human tissue.

Why it matters

Detected in blood, lungs, placenta, and stool. Potential endocrine disruption and inflammatory effects. Exposure is ubiquitous and cumulative.

What is known

Presence in human tissue is confirmed. Health effects at current exposure levels are actively being studied. Reduction strategies include filtered water, glass food storage, and reduced single-use plastic.
