Microplastics
[there are a lot of studies of microplastics in the environment these days; I am not including them here because there are too many. If you are interested, search PubMed for microplastics, there are new ones every day. If I see any on microplastics in humans, I will include them here, as the one above. Similarly, I generally do not include all the numerous articles that measure air pollution levels in various areas in the next section below, but they are out there.]
