I would like to remind people that...

+ the primary source of microplastic particle generation in most households is the washing and drying of (plastic) clothes. I don't have evidence to back this up, but I have a feeling you breathe in more plastic fiber particles every time you remove lint from your dryer than you ingest through your mouth the whole year.

+ the more processed a food is, the higher its microplastic concentration [1] - apparently breaded shrimp is the worst.
