Abstract

Os microplásticos são pequenas partículas de plástico produzidas pelos humanos e que estão em constante movimento pelo nosso planeta. Eles se tornaram uma preocupação muito séria para o meio ambiente, porque nós os produzimos em grandes quantidades e eles são muito lentos para se degradar. Quando os microplásticos atingem ambientes de água doce, eles podem poluir a água potável, afetar todos os tipos de formas de vida e encontrar o caminho para nossa dieta. Muitas organizações internacionais estão tentando reduzir o uso e a produção de artigos como bolsas, roupas, produtos de higiene e até brinquedos, que são feitos ou contêm microplásticos. Pesquisadores de todo o mundo estão procurando maneiras de degradar microplásticos e descobrir novos materiais ecologicamente corretos. Mas há muitas coisas que todos nós podemos fazer para ajudar também. Todos nós podemos fazer a diferença para reduzir a poluição por microplásticos.
