'They're everywhere': Microplastics in oceans, air and human body

“They are everywhere”: from the oceans to the human body, the insidious intrusion of microplastics

From the bottom of the oceans to the tops of mountains, microplastics are everywhere in the environment, but not only. They also make their way through the human body, from the lungs to the placenta, a contamination that disturbs even if its impact is uncertain.

"They're Everywhere": Microplastics In Oceans, Air And Human Body

From ocean depths to mountain peaks, humans have littered the planet with tiny shards of plastic. We have even absorbed these microplastics into our bodies -- with uncertain implications.
