📝 Solution:

Microbeads, small pieces of plastic, are used in many personal care and beauty products. They rinse off our bodies and flow down the drain, eventually ending up in oceans. Being non-biodegradable, they pose a threat to marine ecosystems. Fish and other marine animals mistake them for food, leading to digestive issues and potential death. This also passes plastics along the food chain. Hence, the primary concern about microbeads relates to their harmful impact on marine ecosystems.
