How can I minimise my exposure to microplastics?
To minimise your exposure to microplastics, consider taking the following steps:
- Reduce plastic use:Â Choose reusable alternatives such as glass or stainless steel containers, and avoid single-use plastics.
- Proper waste disposal:Â Dispose of and recycle plastic waste responsibly to limit environmental contamination.
- Filter drinking water:Â Use a high-quality water filter capable of removing microplastics from your tap water.
- Avoid synthetic clothing:Â Opt for natural fibres like cotton or wool, as synthetic fabrics shed microfibres during washing.
- Support research and advocacy:Â Stay informed and support organisations combating microplastic pollution.
