Contaminant

Microplastics

AKA: Plastic particles less than 5mm.

Crimes:
Pollution of water sources via the breakdown of larger manufactured materials. Break and enter into body through ingestion or inhalation.

Hang-outs:
Commonly found in sewage and hanging around oceans, rivers, and lakes. Originating from materials such as tyres, plastic packaging, fishing nets, and synthetic clothing, they can break down further, persisting for ages in the environment.

Danger:
Exposure has been linked to health issues like neurological decline, memory and thinking disabilities, and mobility impairments. The tiny particles can pass through biological barriers and interfere with how the body works.

Protection:
Reduce exposure by using natural materials, metal, and glass instead of plastic. Avoid bottled water and if worried, opt for filtered tap water. Reduce your plastic consumption and help keep it out of the environment.

Look out for our ever-expanding Rogues' Gallery and case files, because you never know what might be lurking in your water.
