Plastic pollution is no longer just an environmental issue but a growing public health crisis. Microplastics have infiltrated every aspect of life, from the water we drink to the food we consume. These tiny plastic particles are not only contaminating the environment but also posing serious threats to human health. According to Rajeev Aacharya, a member of the Indian Water Works Association in Mumbai and a dedicated environmentalist, the alarming rise of plastic waste, especially microplastics, is putting human health at unprecedented risk. He points out that plastic particles have entered our food chain, water sources, and even the air we breathe, making their harmful effects impossible to ignore.
