Microplastic pollution has affected the entire planet from Arctic snow and Alpine soil to the deepest points in the ocean. The particles can maintain toxic chemicals and harmful germs and are known to hurt certain marine creatures.
People take them through food and water consumption, but also through breathing. However, the potential impact on people's health is still unknown, writes The Guardian, translating Periscope into Albanian.
