[Comment] Plastics, plastic chemicals, and microplastics: mu🍎 Food

Microplastics found in human body, linked to multiple health harms

Microplastics are now found throughout the human body, including in the lungs, blood, heart, brain, and reproductive organs. These tiny plastic particles enter our bodies through the air we breathe and food we eat, and early research links them to health problems. Understanding where microplastics come from and how to limit exposure is becoming a key health concern for everyone.
