Microplastics can arise from a variety of places, including bigger plastic trash that breaks down into smaller and smaller fragments of microbeads are extremely small bits of manufactured polyethylene plastic that are used as exfoliants in health and beauty products including cleansers and toothpaste. Microplastics are microscopic plastic particles (less than 1 mm) that form while bigger plastic trash degrades. They are small enough to be consumed by a variety of creatures. Microplastic has been shown to have harmful effects on wildlife in recent studies. These microscopic particles easily slip past water filtering systems and end up in the ocean and the Great Lakes, posing a risk to aquatic life. Because of the cost of removing plastic, it accumulates in the environment, the mechanical of light and heat, plastic breaks into small particles called (microplastic), it affects aquatic not chemically aim to study the biodegrading methods of micro and nano plastics.
