Microplastics are everywhere – in our blood, guts, lungs, even our brains. Scientists estimate we may each carry around 5g of plastic inside us, but the health effects remain uncertain.

Microplastics come from packaging, clothes and tyres. They’re small enough to enter our cells. Studies have found them in human brains and arteries, where they may raise the risk of heart attacks and dementia. “We don’t yet know how harmful they are,” warned…
