                        They've been linked to lung cancer, among other 
things.









                        Humans Inhale Nearly 70,000 Microplastic Particles 
Daily. It's Time For HEPA Filters To Be Mandated.

                        A new study has shocked scientists — and should 
alarm the rest of us, too.



                        It found that, when we're indoors or in our cars, 
every single breath that we take likely contains a high number of 
microplastics, which are so small that they can burrow deep into our lungs.



                        Many of us are familiar with the scary threats posed 
by microplastics, which can contaminate our food and drinking water, and 
even erode from household products. But this newly discovered pathway that 
these insidious particles use to get into our bodies and lungs is freshly 
terrifying.



                        It's time for Congress to act. Sign the petition now 
to demand that Congress lower the cost of HEPA filters and mandate their use 
everywhere possible!



                        Microplastics have been linked to chronic 
inflammation in the lungs, "which can lead to lung cancer." So, the fact 
that we are inhaling them at such a high rate is a problem we need to 
address head on and immediately.



                        This is a public health crisis with a very simple 
solution: mandating HEPA filters everywhere to protect all people's health. 
Sign now to tell Congress: lower the cost of HEPA filters and start 
mandating their use everywhere!




                 Thank you,

                        Sophie

                        P.S. We now know that we're breathing in 
microplastics at an alarming rate. We need effective air filtration, now. 
Sign the petition.
