Microplastics can carry harmful chemicals called PFAS in water, affecting organisms. Research shows that PFAS can stick to microplastics in the environment. Daily products can release both pollutants. Microplastics and PFAS are found worldwide in various amounts. PFAS levels in air, soil, water, and organisms vary widely. PFAS can attach to microplastics in water, affecting aquatic life. More studies are needed to understand the impact of microplastics carrying PFAS in the environment.
