22、touch Marm, she lay quietly while each person took a turn petting her. This took quite a while, and obviously these teens were very comfortable petting her.

23、to be let in. It had been a breathtaking experience to see. The next day, at the same time, I watched it happen again.

28、hat 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 smaller pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these mater
29、ials within the human body, as well as their impact on human health. Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team led by Kieran Cox, a PhD candidate at the - 4 - University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessing the amount of microplastics in commonly consumed food items, among which ar
30、e seafood, sugars, salts, 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 Environmental Protection Agencys reported respiration rates. Based on these d
31、ata, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via food and drink ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account, the range jumps to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year. The authors of the study fo
32、und that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb an additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared to 4,000 among those who only consume tap water. “This shows that small decisions, over the course of a year, really matter and have an impact.“ Cox says. The new study, acc
33、ording 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 food and drink that the researchers analyzed represent 15 percent of Americans caloric intake. Th
34、e team could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grains because there simply is not enough data on their microplastic content. For those worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled water is a good place to start. But to the heart of the problem, we have to stop p
