Microplastics: A Silent Threat
The widespread use of plastic in modern society has undeniably improved our quality of life but has also led to significant environmental challenges, with microplastic contamination being a particularly concerning issue. Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have permeated various facets of our environment, posing threats to both ecosystems and human health. Microplastics primarily originate from several sources, including breakdown of larger plastic items, microbeads in personal care products, microfibers from textiles, industrial processes, and degradation of plastic waste in the environment. Microplastics can be ingested by marine and terrestrial organisms, potentially causing physical harm, disrupting digestive systems, and accumulating in tissues. This contamination can also lead to bioaccumulation in the food chain, ultimately affecting human health.
