Pollution with Plastic Waste (damage of Microplastics)
Summary
This brief article provides a general overview of plastic waste pollution, its environmental spread, and the particular dangers of microplastics to ecosystems and human health. While short on detail, it contributes to the growing body of public-facing literature drawing attention to microplastics as a serious global hazard.
this article shows pollution by plastic waste, which is one of the most urgent problems today, and its level of damage to the environment and living organisms, including the human body. In addition, the serious harm of microplastics is also covered.
