Chennai, you are breathing microplastic!

If you stopped having seafood after studies showed microplastic in fish sold in Chennai, you still can’t breathe easy. A new research has found that Chennaiites may be inhaling microplastics, more so those in the southern parts of the city. Microplastics can enter the human body through ingestion and inhalation and may cause a wide range of diseases affecting the lungs, heart, nervous system, immune system and hormones. Some are also carcinogens that could cause cancer.
