These tiny particles, ranging in size from microscopic to 5 millimeters long, are infused in cosmetics and fertilizers. Theyre released unintentionally when we wash clothes made from polyester and nylon, or when the rubber hits the road as were driving. And they are produced when plastic products like bottles or packaging break down into smaller and smaller pieces.<\/p>\n<p>POLITICO presents plastics by the numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Microplastics have been found in the air, in animals, in food and beverages and in human feces.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/icon_water-150x150.png\"\/>Drinking water:<\/strong> A 2017 study by Orb Media tested tap water samples from more than a dozen countries on five continents, and found microplastics in 83 percent.
