Plastic is lightweight, malleable, durable. But it has also become so widespread that it's ending up in a lot of unwanted places—including our own bodies. That's according to a new study, which found that humans are consuming a shocking amount of so-called "microplastics". "Microplastics, the kind of current working definition, is plastic less than five millimeters. So people commonly equate that to something like a grain of rice or a sesame seed and down in terms of size class. I will say that most of the microplastics that people are interacting with are quite a bit smaller than the sesame seed size, which I think always kinds of shocks people when we start talking about the numbers because they kind of can't see a lot of these things, at least with the naked eye." Kieran Cox, a PhD candidate in marine biology at the University of Victoria in Canada and one of the authors of the study, which is in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.
