They went everywhere.

They're affecting worldwide now.

And, you know, the firefighters using that foam and the sprays that all contain microplastics, too.

So now all that stuff's up in Antarctica and I mean, in Antarctica and the Arctic.

And, you know, these wildfires were a huge event, but it's really a blip on the radar when it comes to the amount of microplastics that we are being exposed to on a daily basis from a multitude of so many other sources, Adam.

I mean, every time we burn fuel, their synthetic polymers go up into the air every time a missile is launched.

Microplastics are released into the atmosphere, and again, they're spread globally.

And we're unknowingly exposed to and ingesting these microplastics on a daily basis.

Well, here's the thing.

The average American is inhaling 68,000 microplastics, those particles, every single day.

We're ingesting six times more microplastics than we did in 1990.

And they easily are traveling through our food chain.

The fruits and vegetables that we're all eating are tainted because the crop irrigation washes these microplastics into the soil and then thus into our foods.

and the plants absorb them.

And 88% of our meat and seafood and other protein sources, including plant-based proteins as well, are affected by these microplastics.

And 94% of all US water, the clothing we're wearing are recycled plastic or new plastic, polyester fibers.

This is affecting us because when we wear the clothing,

and we drink the water that's in those plastic bottles it is going into our bodies and it's affecting us you're wearing yoga pants directly against your genital area you're wearing those guys need to wear tidy whiteys adam because those those polyester underwear that are so slick and feeling good and wicking away water well guess what they're also throwing microplastics down there um in that area and it's it's having a devastating impact on our health

And another frightening thing about it, too, is, you know, plastics in our brains.

I mean, we've got an equivalent of a spoon's worth of microplastic in our brains now.
