How can I minimise my exposure to microplastics?

To minimise your exposure to microplastics, consider taking the following steps:

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