    Its literally in the rain, basically you cant really escape microplastics maybe reduce it by spending blood at lot, dont use plastic boards for cutting and reduce plastic container ware, also buy natural fibers for your bed, wash cloths & clothes.

      Yeah exactly, microplastics are truly unavoidable. You can reduce the amount but like leaded gasoline in air theres fuckall you can do. Unlike lead in the air tho microplastics probably arent at the same sort of health hazard. Endocrine disruption from pthalate additives is the biggest concern and that could be mitigated by not using pthalates anymore (and not replacing them with something worse)
