16、g that the tiny fragments have also been found in the human body. A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.Measuring 50 to 500 microns in length, microplastics come from a variety of sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and small

17、er pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as the impact on human health.Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team, led by Kieran Cox, a Ph. D. candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assess

18、ing the number of microplastics in commonly consumed food items, among which are seafood, sugar, salt, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation (吸入) using previously reported data on microplastic concentrations in the air and the

19、 Environmental Protection Agencys data on respiration rates. Based on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via foods and drinks ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account, the range jump

20、s to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year.The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared with 4,000 among those who only consume tap water. “This shows that small decisions, over the cour

21、se of a year, really matter and have an impact.” Cox says. The new study, according to its authors, was the first to investigate “the accumulative human exposure to microplastics”. But in all likelihood, the research tells only a small part of the entire story. Collectively, the foods and drinks tha

22、t the researchers analyzed represent 15 percent of Americans caloric intake. The team could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grain because there simply is not enough data on their microplastic content.For those who worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled w

23、ater is a good place to start. But for the heart of the problem, we have to stop producing and using so many plastics.24.

27、untains. Schools were canceled, roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed. Still,I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside.

29、he road, the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside, enjoying their way off from school.The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past.
