Environmental History
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles, typically less than 5 millimeters in size, that result from the degradation of larger plastic items or are manufactured at that size. These particles are pervasive in the environment and pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Their widespread presence highlights the impact of human activity on nature and raises critical discussions about pollution, sustainability, and the Anthropocene.
