Impair child development
Researchers have linked microplastics more than once with child development and lack of adequate growth. Microplastics, particularly the smallest kind, can be absorbed in the intestines and enter our bloodstream.
This causes many health concerns for everyone, but they’re particularly dangerous for developing embryos and fetuses, as plastic is transferred from the mother to its child through blood.
Microplastics also have a significant impact on small children with more delicate organs and sensitive circulatory and digestive systems.
