I’ve been more and more conscious about microplastics. I was not aware that the laundry and dishwasher pods are just plastic which then goes into the water system.

What can be done to prevent microplastics?

    I’m happier to live in an age of micro plastics than lead and asbestos and extreme smog.

      I would highly recommend getting a UV flashlight with a 365nm wavelength. That wavelength makes leaded glass easy to identify and glow blue. I got one and lead is still very much prevalent in a large amount of drinking glasses that I shine it on.

      China still doesn’t really have restrictions on lead and brass plumbing fixtures in America still had 8% lead as recent as 2014
