Paragraph 2
The scientists reported finding, "tens to thousands of
microplastic pieces in most tissue
". Chemicals from microplastics are released into the body,
leading to allergic
, cancer, cell death, and chronic inflammation, among other
. Scientists reckon the
person consumes around five grams of microplastics a week, or 52,000
a year. Microplastics are so
that they make up 39 per cent of dust particles in our homes. Scientists say these tiny shards are near-
to remove from the body. They say it is becoming
to limit the amount of plastic we breathe in, ingest, swallow or absorb.
