Plastic Pollution and the Air

On World Environment Day, we investigate the links between plastic and air pollution. When we think of plastic pollution, we often imagine oceans and landfills, but plastic is in the air too. As plastics break down, they release microplastics into the environment, which can travel thousands of kilometres through the air - from cities to mountaintops. Recent studies show that the average person could inhale 16.2 bits of plastic per hour, which is equivalent to a credit card in plastic each week.
