Summary
Scientists found tiny bits of plastic (called microplastics) inside the stomachs of fish caught in France's Seine River, showing that plastic pollution is making its way into the food chain, not just floating in the water. Since people eat freshwater fish like this, the discovery raises questions about whether we're unknowingly consuming plastic particles too, though more research is needed to know exactly how this affects our health.
