First evidence of microplastic inhalation among free-ranging small cetaceans

For the first time, researchers documented microplastic inhalation in wild dolphins by collecting breath samples from animals in Florida and Louisiana. Every dolphin tested had at least one microplastic particle in their exhaled breath. This finding is significant because if marine mammals are inhaling microplastics from ocean air, humans living and working near coastlines are likely exposed to similar airborne microplastic contamination.
