Scientists define microplastics as plastic fragments less than 5 mm, about 0.2 inches (D). Much previous research on microplastics and nanoplastics have focused on its accumulation and effects in marine life, with particular focus on seafood that human's consume. Microplastics have been associated with neurotoxic effects in wild fish and increase oxidative damage which can theoretically lead to a greater risk of cancer.

Humans do ingest microplastics and they do at least pass through the digestive system as evidenced by the finding that they were widely found in fecal samples from people all over the world. Very little is known about whether they go elsewhere in the body after ingestion or what health effects they have.

They artificially spiked the samples with microplastics to test their new method and were able to detect the plastics.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
