Microplastics. What are they?
Tiny particles of plastic, less than 5 millimeters in size, that are by-products of broken down/degraded larger pieces of plastic.
What's the big deal?
- These particles can be inhaled and ingested through the air we breathe and the food we eat. This phenomenon is linked to severe health issues
- Endocrine disruption (ex. hormone regulation), weight gain, insulin resistance, decreased reproductive health, and even cancer.
- There is still much to be understood but we need to take action NOW to move towards a more "Plastic Free" lifestyle.
