This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: MP & HH Cmap, Microplastics categorized into Secondary, Microplastics categorized into Primary, a problem of worldwide concern which can be mitigated through Emphasis on food safety, water cleanliness, and human health, Human Exposure which occurs through Ingestion and/or inhalation, and dermal contact, - Fibers - Microbeads - Fragments - Nurdles - Foam - degraded single-use plastics are spread through - Littering - Storms - Water runoff - Winds carrying it to oceans - Contamination of food and water, a problem of worldwide concern though, they are not thoroughly understood, a problem of worldwide concern which can be mitigated through Legislation to reduce the production and consumption of plastics and microplastics, as well as processing waste and water to protect the environment, Microplastics are considered a problem of worldwide concern, they do not breakdown easily which leads to safety concerns, they do not breakdown easily which leads to Human Exposure, a problem of worldwide concern which can be mitigated through Further research and studies to gather more information, they do not breakdown easily which leads to atmospheric fallout, Microplastics include - Fibers - Microbeads - Fragments - Nurdles - Foam - degraded single-use plastics, Ingestion and/or inhalation, and dermal contact which can pose a threat to Human Health, Microplastics are defined as Small pieces of plastics less than 5 mm in diameter (< 5mm), a problem of worldwide concern because they do not breakdown easily
