Microplastics have spread so widely that they're difficult to track. These tiny particles originate from larger plastics breaking down and are linked to heart attacks, fertility issues and cancer. Recent research also suggests they might lower sperm count. According to a 2019 Canadian study, humans consume up to 52,000 microplastic particles per year. Last month, interest in microplastics surged, with searches reaching a record-high Google Trends score of 100, according to German environmental organisation CleanHub. A study from the University of New Mexico sparked global interest, with many s...
