The effects of microplastics on human health are a growing concern and an actively increasing area of research. Tiny particles known as microplastics, have been found in various environmental and biological matrices, including air, water, food, and human tissues. Microplastics, defined as plastic fragments smaller than 5 millimeters (mm), and even smaller particles such as nanoplastics, particles smaller than 1000 nanometers (nm) (0.001 mm or 1 micrometer [μm]), have raised concerns impacting human health.[1][2] The pervasive presence of plastics in our environment has raised concerns about their long-term impacts on human health. While visible pollution caused by larger plastic items is well-documented, the hidden threat posed by nanoplastics remains underexplored. These particles originate from the degradation of larger plastics and are now found in various environmental matrices, including water, soil, and air. Given their minute size, nanoplastics can penetrate biological barriers and accumulate in human tissues, potentially leading to adverse health effects.[3][4]
While research is still emerging, there’s growing concern that microplastic exposure could potentially affect cognitive function, including IQ, particularly during critical developmental periods like childhood.
People living in coastal communities could face an increased risk of brain and movement disabilities, according to new research published by the American Academy of Neurology.

We should all be more cognizant of our outputs so as to reduce microplastics and pollution in general.
The U.S. has built a secret underground “city” costing $21 trillion where the ultra-wealthy can hide out druing a “near-extinction event,” a former government official has claimed.
