I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work. I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)

It's known that #macroplastics continue to cause detrimental effects to wildlife, however the impacts of #microplastics is still unclear & very complex. Great article by @ChelseaRochman & @kennedybucci1. Give it a read! plasticactioncentre.ca/news/microplas…

You’re likely taking in tiny particles of #plastics every time you eat, drink and breathe 😰 #Microplastics result from the breakdown into ever smaller bits of everyday plastic discards, like packaging, children’s toys, and cosmetics & synthetic clothing. buff.ly/2uKKAsI

Microfibers from synthetic clothing end up in water and in fish. This is bad news for wildlife because synthetic materials like #polyester, acrylic, & spandex contain dyes & chemicals. buff.ly/3aPw57j Microfibers are also ingested by animals and may affect our #health 😕
