  • Microplastics are derived from petrochemicals extracted from oil and gas products.
  • Some of these particles are toxic to humans, carrying carcinogenic or mutagenic chemicals, potentially causing cancer and/or DNA damage.
  • People spend up to 90% of their time indoors and therefore the greatest risk of exposure to microplastics is in the home.
  • Three academics from Macquarie University explain how we can minimize risk from microplastics indoors.
