Microplastics

Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5 mm that accumulate in soil, water, and even the air. These particles enter the environment through abrasion, waste or textile fibres and pose a threat to ecosystems and health. Microplastics persist for decades and accumulate along the food chain.
