The Invisible Enemy – What Are Microplastics?

Microplastics are everywhere: in our food, water, air, and even inside our bodies. These tiny plastic fragments come from everyday items—water bottles, clothing, packaging—and break down into particles so small, they sneak into places you’d never expect.

• • Found in 94% of bottled water.
  • Inhaled with the air we breathe.
  • Linked to inflammation, hormone disruption, and long-term health risks.
  • Yes, even your sea salt has a pinch of plastic. Fancy that!

It’s Not Just the Planet—It’s Your Body!

• Microplastics don’t just pollute the oceans—they pollute you. Studies show they can disrupt hormones, weaken immunity, and even harm future generations.

• Eye-Opening Facts:

  • Plastics have been found in human placentas.
  • Synthetic fibers make up 35% of ocean microplastics—and guess what? They’re also in your lungs.
  • An average person eats a credit card’s worth of plastic each week.
