Did you know that the average person consumes a credit card's worth of plastic every week?⠀
⠀
Microplastic has been found in human foods like honey, beer, bottled water, and shellfish, but a new study from University of Queensland reveals just how prolific the contamination is in our seafood.⠀
⠀
Researchers purchased five different types of seafood from a local market, and found that 100% of their samples contained microplastic! The plastics they found are commonly used in plastic packaging and synthetic textiles. ⠀
