Do you eat a credit card of plastic every week?

MOMENTUM researcher Nelly Saenen talks about her microplastics research in an educational video by Universiteit van Vlaanderen. In the video, she explains how microplastics end up in our bodies and how scientists are investigating whether these plastic particles are harmful (in Dutch). She also discusses some of the challenges of studying the effects of microplastics on human health and addresses the claim that we eat a credit card of plastic every week.
