Study: Indoor Microplastic Inhalation Far Higher Than Previously Thought
A new study in PLOS One reveals that adults inhale roughly 68,000 microplastic particles daily in homes and cars in Southern France, far exceeding previous estimations. The majority are small enough to reach deep into the lungs, potentially causing inflammation, although long-term health impacts rem...
