Study: Inhaling Thousands of Plastic Fragments Daily

Study: Inhaling Thousands of Plastic Fragments Daily

Imagine tiny bits of plastic, much smaller than a speck of dust, floating in the air inside your house and car.

A new study found that we breathe in thousands of these plastic pieces every day!

These microplastics come from things like clothes, carpets, and plastic packaging.

Because they're so small, they can go deep into our lungs.

Scientists are concerned because we spend a lot of time indoors, and this study shows that our homes and cars may not be as safe as we think when it comes to breathing in these tiny plastic particles.
