About Us
Bit by Bit is working to spread awareness about microplastics. Microplastics are small particles that form from gas, oil, toxic wastes from industries and most commonly, when a large piece of plastic breaks down. Just like regular plastic, they are harmful to our environment. However, studies have found particles of microplastics in the ocean. In 2022, the “National Library of
Medicine” found microplastics in fish and after later research was conducted in 2023, it was concluded that microplastics lead to risks for human
health. They make their way into the human body through drugs, cosmetics and food. Smaller breakdowns of microplastics, called nanoplastics have been found everywhere including samples in the air because of the large usage of plastic.
The Dangers of Microplastics
Why does this matter? Microplastics have serious effects on the environment, if plastic usage continues at the rate it is currently growing certain species of fish could be at risk of endangerment.
