Study Reveals The Shocking Amount of Plastic We Breathe in Every Day According to a new study, humans can inhale more than 70,000 microplastic particles each day in an indoor environment – far more than previously thought.

"From this and other research, the team estimated that adults inhale roughly 71,000 microplastic particles from these environments every single day, with 68,000 of them being sub-10 micrometers."

We eat, drink, and breath in plastic everyday.

Microplastics found in Antarctica at levels 100 times greater than previously thought Antarctica is one of the world’s last great wildernesses but, even here, even at the South Pole, plastic is present

"Because we used more sensitive detection methods, our study identified smaller plastic particles than previous research, suggesting past studies may have underestimated the true levels of microplastic contamination."

Apparel industry leaks millions of tons of plastic into environment each year, study finds A study has found that waste from the global apparel industry is leaking millions of tons of plastic into the environment each year—an overlooked pollution source which may be getting worse over time.

Study finds that global apparel consumption resulted in over 20 million tons of plastic waste in 2019. Around 40% of that waste may have been improperly managed, ending up in the environment.

New study finds at least 1 in 4 US residential yards exceeds new EPA lead soil level guideline Roughly one in four U.S. households have soil exceeding the new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's lead screening levels of 200 parts per million (ppm), halved from the previous level of 400 ppm, ...

"I was shocked at how many households were above the new 200 ppm guideline,"
"I assumed it was going to be a more modest number. And results for the 100 ppm guideline are even worse."
