Microplastic Pollution -

Microplastics, small pieces of plastic, less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) in length, that occur in the environment as a consequence of plastic pollution. ... Microplastics are present in a variety of products, from cosmetics to synthetic clothing to plastic bags and bottles.

Causes & Effect -
