Microbeads are small plastic particles found in cosmetics like exfoliating creams and toothpastes that are about 1 millimeter in size. They are a risk because water treatment plants cannot filter them out, so they end up in oceans and affect marine life. Some solutions proposed are banning microbeads from products and improving water treatment to remove microbeads.

- 1. MICROBEADS By Osama And Albert
- 2. WHAT THEY ARE Microbeads are solid plastic particles and we can find this particles usually in cosmetics his size is an approximation of a millimetre
- 3. WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM We can usually find these particles in exfoliating creams and toothpastes These particles are added for lubrication and that has an effect of scraping and because that is so used in exfoliating creams
- 4. RISKS OF THESE PARTICLES These particles do not be filtered out by water treatment plants and then arrive at the sea where affect plants, fish... ETC In some countries already are eliminating these particles and others limit them
- 5. SOLUTIONS Some solutions could be rid of these particles, make a cleaning of them and improve water treatment plants to debug these particles
