They originate from the decomposition of larger plastic objects or are intentionally manufactured for use in household products such as detergents, toothpaste, skin care products, among many others.

This phenomenon could expose people to toxic chemicals that attach to these tiny particles, raising concerns about the safety of the food and water we consume.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact_of_microplastics_on_marine_life\"><\/span>Impact of microplastics on marine life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the natural environment, microplastics represent a tangible threat to our aquatic ecosystems. These tiny particles pollute rivers, lakes and oceans, seriously disturbing marine life and affecting biodiversity. Marine organisms, from the smallest to the largest, ingest these microplastics, which can cause significant damage to their digestive systems and alter their feeding patterns. This, in addition, translates into the entry of microplastics into our food chain when we consume these fish.<\/p>\n<p>Microplastics also accumulate in sediments, altering life in rivers, lakes and oceans and affecting biodiversity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_Filtration_as_a_Solution\"><\/span><strong>Water Filtration as a Solution<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/azudindustrial.com\/en\/application\/wastewater-regeneration\/\"><strong> wastewater treatment <\/strong><\/a>is a crucial area in the management of microplastics.
