Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters, have been discovered in diverse locations, ranging from the Mariana Trench, Earth's deepest point, to the peak of Mount Everest.

The negative effects of microplastics on human health are numerous, and becoming better known each day. Harvard has recently published their groundbreaking study linking microplastics in blood to a 4.5x in likelihood of stroke. In 2023, the ACS published their research linking microplastics to oxidative stress, DNA damage, organ dysfunction, metabolic disorder, immune response, neurotoxicity, as well as reproductive and developmental toxicity

Microplastics have been shown to cause cancer, asthma, fatigue, metabolic disorders, organ dysfunction, and reproductive issues PlasticTox allows you to do your own research and take the first steps toward preventing these and other illnesses.
