We ingest plastics every minute of the day


Microplastics may be able to enter our bodies through skin contact but we breathe in confirmed amounts daily. — CC BY-SA 2.0

WHEN you wake up in the morning, wash your face, apply a skin lotion, take a drink of water, clean your teeth and step outside for a walk near the beach your body is most likely ingesting microplastics the entire time, through your mouth, your nose and your skin.

There is no escape.
