Question 1 of 9 · Drinking Water
What's your main source of drinking water?
Bottled water contains significantly more microplastic particles than filtered tap water — up to 100× more in some studies.
Question 2 of 9 · Kitchen
What do you mainly cook with?
Non-stick coatings break down at high heat and shed microplastics directly into food with every use.
Question 3 of 9 · Kitchen
What do you store leftover food in?
Plastic containers leach BPA and microplastics into food — the leaching increases with heat, scratches, and time.
Question 4 of 9 · Kitchen
Do you microwave food in plastic containers or covered with cling wrap?
Microwaving in plastic massively increases leaching — heat causes the polymer structure to break down and release particles into food.
Question 5 of 9 · Clothing & Laundry
What's your wardrobe mostly made of?
Synthetic fabrics (polyester, nylon, acrylic) shed microfibers constantly — through wearing, washing, and simply moving around.
Question 6 of 9 · Laundry
Do you use a microfibre filter on your washing machine?
Each wash cycle releases hundreds of thousands of microfibre particles into the water system. A filter captures up to 90% of them before they escape.
Question 7 of 9 · Kitchen
What kind of cutting board do you use?
Plastic cutting boards shed up to 50 million microplastic particles per year directly into food during normal chopping.
Question 8 of 9 · Bedroom & Air
What's your bedding mostly made of?
Synthetic bedding sheds microfibers while you sleep for 7–9 hours a night — a significant airborne inhalation source that's easy to miss.
Question 9 of 9 · Cleaning
What do you wash dishes with?
Standard yellow sponges are made of plastic foam and shed synthetic fibres into your washing water and onto your dishes every single day.
