Concept and Transmission of Microplastics in Human Diet
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Use of plastics for different purposes which are non-biodegradable in nature has made a serious problem to nature. The hotspot areas of plastic pollution are confined to the ocean, landfills and open waste disposals. Plastics which fragments into small pieces in the size range of 0.001 - 5 mm are termed as microplastics. Microplastics can enter the environment through agricultural run-off, tyre and road-wear particles, wear and tear of clothes, plastic packages, industrial effluents, microbeads, etc. it can also transfer into the food chain through soil, seaweed, seasalt, drinking water, bottled water, processed food products, packaging, etc. The problems created by microplastics are of great concern for living beings.
