Dodging Microplastics?

 


Perhaps it's a sign of the times to be offered advice on how to reduce your exposure to microplastics (and their, more than probable, negative health consequences)? The point about these tiny particles, however, is that they're now ubiquitous. On this planet, no human can currently go anywhere without being showered by them. Eating, drinking or even standing in the rain, exposes you to microplastics, Their environmental concentrations might be reduced, after several decades of cutting back on plastics use, but they ain't, as they say, 'going away' (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/mar/01/how-to-avoid-microplastics). Microplastics are just another example of humans 'soiling their nest'.
