She says the average person eats, drinks, or inhales more than 120,000 plastic particles a year, or up to 5 grams of plastic per week, “the equivalent of a credit card,” according to Duke’s Jason Somarelli, PhD, assistant professor in the division of medical oncology...." My notes: Unfortunately, we'll never get away from it. Even if plastics stop production NOW, there's so much in the environment, water, breaking down into micro-plastics that are seeping into the earth.

Oh yeah. Plastic is ubiquitous. Can't get away from it. Babies are born with microplastics.
