How microplastics get into your body – level 1

How microplastics get into your body

30-03-2026 15:00

Plastic is in our clothes, our food, and now in our bodies. We breathe it in the air and drink it in water. This is a big problem for us.

These small pieces of plastic stay in our skin and our blood. They can make our bodies feel sick and tired. Our body cannot destroy them. We need to use less plastic every day. Do not use plastic bottles or plastic boxes for food. Use glass, wood, or metal in your kitchen. This is better for your health.

We also need official rules to stop making so much plastic. If we all work together, we can make the world clean and stay healthy.

Difficult words: breathe (to take air into your lungs and let it out again), destroy (to damage something badly), health (how well or sick you feel).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Which materials should you use in the kitchen instead of plastic bottles and boxes for better health?
