In a test of 85 popular foods, 84 of them contained plasticizer chemicals. The health effects of this widespread plastics exposure are completely unknown.

Research shows humans might inhale about 16.2 bits of microplastic every hour, which is equivalent to a credit card over an entire week. And these microplastics—tiny debris in the environment generated from the degradation of plastic products—usually contain toxic pollutants and chemicals.
