Plastics are all around you in clothing, food packaging, and even inside of you. A study from the University of Newcastle published in the World Wide Fund For Nature looked at the data surrounding ingestion of microplastics; findings suggest that people are at risk of ingesting 5g of microplastic per week which is equal to the average credit card weight.
Microplastics were defined as being plastic particles under the size of 5mm. Primary microplastics are released directly into the environment in the form of small particulates such as shower gel microbeads and secondary microplastics arise from the degradation of larger plastic items such as biodegradable bags.

Viruses can survive outside of the human body for varying lengths of time after being expelled from the infected host. First the nasty will remain inactive in a non-hostile liquid, wet or moist medium, when that environment dries out the virus can then remain dormant in a dry state for weeks to months depending on the type of virus.
Viruses are expelled out from an infected body into the air after a person sneezes or coughs. Unless covered up a sneeze can eject at over 100 miles per hour and as many as 50,000 individual aerosolized micro droplets of saliva and other moisture can be expelled to travel for a distance between 19-16 feet according to research from MIT.
