Paragraph 2
The scientists found "thousands of
microplastic pieces in most
samples". Chemicals from microplastics are released into the body, which can lead to allergic
, cancer, and cell
, among other problems. Scientists say the
person consumes around five grams of microplastics a week, or 52,000
a year. Microplastics also make up 39 per cent of
particles in our homes. Scientists say these are almost
to remove from the body. It is becoming
to limit the
of plastic we breathe in, ingest or swallow.
