Things might get even worse soon
Since research around microplastics is just getting started, it’s impossible to estimate the damage of microplastics that have entered our bodies for the last fifty years.
Chances are most of the modern maladies, and chronic diseases are linked with plastic and the chemicals it releases. With 400 million tons of new plastic released to the market every year, most of it of single-use, we’ll soon be overwhelmed by the plastic in our environment.
From small pebbles the size of a sesame seed to microscopic nano plastics, the threat is real and hiding in plain sight.
