According to the research, “the maximum amount of microplastics that adults in the United States are exposed to each year is approximately 3.8 million.”
Clothing fibers, packaging materials, and other plastic items are some of the sources of microplastics, which are particles smaller than five millimeters.
These microscopic particles have spread across our surroundings, entering the food chain and eventually ending up on our plates.
Investigations on the implications for human health are ongoing. The existence of microplastics in our food raises worries about possible health dangers,
Even if the long-term implications are yet unknown. To protect the environment and public health, it is imperative that customers remain educated and support efforts to reduce plastic pollution.
