Plant-based filter removes up to 99.9% of microplastics from water
Researchers may have found an effective, green way to remove microplastics from our water using readily available plant materials. Their device was found to capture up to 99.9% of a wide variety of microplastics known to pose a health risk to humans.

Is there a mask version? As far as I know, the microplastics penetrate our blood brain barriers by first penetrating our lungs as we breath the flying particles in.
Also, the article doesn't mention anything about nanoplastics, which are far more dangerous. Nanoplastics have a larger surface area, which makes them more reactive - they can also penetrate cells, and cause damage to DNA, proteins, etc.
Jeeze I sure do wish that was made up!
Macroplastics are what you should really be worried about! They have even more surface area, and cut off airflow to the lungs by enveloping your head
