Microplastics in Oceans: Tiny but Dangerous

Summary

Tiny bits of plastic pollution are ending up in the ocean, where fish and other sea creatures accidentally eat them. Because we eat seafood, these microplastics can work their way up the food chain and onto our plates too. This matters because scientists are still studying exactly how eating microplastics affects our health, but reducing plastic waste could help keep them out of our food supply in the first place.
