#quote: "Things have gotten much worse since then. Now we really are #plastic—or at least, our bodies contain far more plastic than most of us would prefer. Recent studies have found #tiny plastic particles deep inside #human l#ungs and #blood. A new paper from Columbia University has identified nanoplastics—even smaller than microplastics, which we have been worried about for a while—as particularly prevalent, especially in bottled water. The average American adult may be consuming over 11,000 pieces of #microplastic per year, another study calculated this month". unquote
