Microplastics in Puerto Rican air.

I keep hearing about how microplastics in the environment are harmful to our health. I got curious and when some dust blew in my house I looked at it under magnification. I live way up in the mountains, and I thought the air was clean. Boy was I surprised, along with beach dust there were innumerable particles of plastics of all colors, bits of mylar, sharp metal fragments, black chemical bits of some kind. We are breathing, drinking and eating these! There are web sites about how to prevent ingesting this. Water filters, air filters, vacuuming etc
