Plastic microbeads used in personal care products such as toothpaste, face scrubs and body wash – intended to provide a scrubbing and cleaning effect – are a source of ocean pollution that threatens wildlife, say conservation researchers who are urging a ban.
In the U.S. alone, more than 8 trillion of the tiny plastic grains enter water habitats every day, flushed down bathroom sinks and ending up in the ocean, they say.
