Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics, ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife humans. They have been detected many marine species, but also drinking water numerous foods, such as salt, honey organisms. Exposure to microplastics can occur through inhaled air. Data animal studies shown once absorbed, micro- nanoparticles distribute liver, spleen, heart, lungs, thymus, reproductive organs, kidneys even brain (crosses blood–brain barrier). In addition, transport operators persistent organic pollutants or heavy metals invertebrate organisms other higher trophic levels. After ingestion, additives monomers their composition interfere with important biological processes human body cause disruption endocrine, immune system; a negative impact on mobility, reproduction development; carcinogenesis. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has affected not only health national economies environment, due large volume waste form discarded personal protective equipment. remarkable increase global use face masks, which mainly contain polypropylene, poor management led worsening microplastic pollution, long-term consequences be extremely devastating if urgent action is taken.
