What Are Microplastics?
Microplastics are small plastic particles, usually 3mm or less in size, that result from the breakdown of synthetic materials. Factors such as heat, abrasion, sunlight, and water play a role in their dispersal. Increasing evidence reveals that microplastics are pervasive—found in the air, our food, and even within our organs and bloodstream.
Why Are They a Problem?
From BPA to flame retardants, numerous plastics contain chemicals associated with hormonal imbalances, heart disease, reproductive problems, and other health risks. Common activities—such as cooking with plastic utensils, using plastic cutting boards, or microwaving food in plastic containers—can release microplastics into your meals, exposing you to the harmful toxins they contain.
