‘They’re in the air, drinking water, dust, food …’ How to reduce your exposure to microplastics
No corner of the planet is free from minuscule fragments of plastic packaging, textiles or utensils. We ask scientists what this means for our health – and what we should do to protect it
"Malcolm Hudson, an associate professor in environmental science at the University of Southampton, is very keen that we don’t panic about our current exposure to microplastics. Instead, he’d rather we divert that energy into helping to stop the planet accumulating yet more plastic. At the current rate of production, more than 10bn tonnes of mismanaged plastic waste will be dispersed in the natural environment by 2050."
