More than 50 per cent of Malaysia’s microplastic consumption was from eating fish.
PETALING JAYA – Malaysia ranks the highest among 109 countries in consuming microplastics, which are plastic particles smaller than 5mm in length, a recent study found.
Malaysia was also among the top 10 countries that inhaled the most microplastic particles, at an estimated 494,000 microplastic particles a day per capita, according to the study. “Dietary microplastics involve those accumulated in foodstuffs and the material losses from plastic use in food and drink production, processing, and final product packaging,” the authors said.
“These plastic particulates can contaminate water systems and microplastics in freshwater and saltwater environments, are then dispersed via water currents or air transmission and penetrate into the food chain.
