Plastic pollution is a growing concern. It can form smaller particles called microplastics (<5 mm). Microplastics break down into even pieces nanoplastics (<1 μm). These minute infiltrate human cells and tissues, with their health impacts still largely undetermined. On average, liter of bottled water includes about 240,000 tiny plastic. The purpose this study was to evaluate the association between use plastic (BW) several outcomes. Utilizing data from Italian National Institute Statistics'...
