Are you worried about microplastics? - Lemmy.World

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?

Not much I can realistically do about them. Consumption on my level has no measurable effect. So, no. I’m going to die of a bowel explosion in a couple decades anyways, according to the cards. If there’s plastic, so be it.

Don’t microwave your food in plastic containers. Pretty easy way to cut a chunk of microplastics from your diet.

Also evidently Ziplock is one of the only brands of plastic storage bags that don’t contain pfas.
