Nevermind the 'Ozone': Fill Your Lungs with Microplastics!

I suppose it was inevitable. Researchers at the Universities of Strathclyde (Scotland) and Toulouse (France) have established that sea spray contains quantities of microplastics (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/may/12/microplastics-discovered-blowing-ashore-in-sea-breezes). These are presumably largely generated by wave action on the larger pieces of plastic waste that make their way to the sea (although teabags and washing machines generate the tiny particles directly). Just don't breathe too deeply, if there is an onshore wind!
