Go ahead and check your clothes – perhaps they're made from a synthetic fiber. These are all made from plastic:
- nylon - polyester - acrylic - fleece - spandex
Plastic fibers can be found in these common food items:
- honey - salt - beer - bottled water And these are just some of the serious medical conditions brought on by microplastics:
cancer skin conditions internal disorders hormone abnormalities
Thankfully we still have a chance to improve the situation. All you have to do is:
- avoid clothes made from synthetic fibers - avoid "fast fashion" items - choose durable, high-quality clothes - use a front-loading washing machine - reduce how often you wash clothes - use less laundry detergent and fabric softener
