Microplastics are small plastic particles of less than 5 mm in length that are found throughout the environment (including in water, air, and soil), in food and feed and even within living organisms. They can come from the breakdown of larger plastic items or be intentionally manufactured for use in products like cosmetics and cleaning supplies. Although the effects of microplastics on human health are still largely unknown, they have also been found in human blood, organs, and even breast milk, raising concerns about potential health impacts.
