There’s even more bad news about microplastics. Microplastics are rapidly becoming a major problem. They are the end result of poorly disposed plastic items. Discarded plastic eventually breaks down in the environment due to UV exposure, temperature changes, water exposure, or mechanical action. Ultimately, it becomes plastic “dust” that easily blows around the planet and… Continue reading New Study Finds Microplastics Strongly Adsorb Toxic Metals, Increasing Health Risks
