New research finds disposable Covid masks shed micro‑plastics and bisphenol B (an endocrine disruptor) into water – especially FFP2/FFP3 masks, which leach 4‑6× more. With 129 bn masks/month used at the pandemic’s peak, up to 214 kg of bisphenol B may have entered the environment. Time for sustainable alternatives. #PlasticPollution #Microplastics 🌍🛡️
