Experts Warn of Growing Plastic Pollution and Microplastics in Baby Bottles
Experts are expressing increasing concerns about the alarming rise of plastic pollution and its detrimental effects on our health and the environment. The global issue of plastic waste has reached a critical level, with microplastics, minuscule plastic particles, now so widespread that they can even be detected in baby bottles.
