3、by Kieran Cox，a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria，looked at 26 papers assessing the amount of microplastics in commonly consumed food items，among which are seafood，sugars，salts，honey，alcohol and water.The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation(吸入)
4、 using previously reported data on microplastic concentrations in the air and the Environmental Protection Agencys reported respiration rates.Based on these data，the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via food and drink ranges from 39，000 to 52，000 particles.When mic
5、roplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account，the range jumps to between 74，000 and 121，000 particles per year. The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb an additional 90，000 microplastics each year，compared to 4，000 among thos
6、e who only consume tap water.“This shows that small decisions，over the course of a year，really matter and have an impact，”Cox says.The new study，according to its authors，was the first to investigate “the accumulative human exposure” to microplastics.But in all likelihood，the research tells only a sm

32、 to a household can also add stress to a career.Now，a new study backs that up with some astonishing numbers：After science，technology，engineering and mathematics (STEM) professionals become parents，43% of women and 23% of men switch fields，transition (转变) to parttime work，or leave the workforce entir
33、ely.Many researchers and parents already knew that STEM can be unwelcoming to parents，particularly mothers.But “the considerable departure was astonishing，” says Erin Cech，an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and lead author of the study，published in the Pro
34、ceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.For both genders，“the proportions were higher than we expected.”The surprisingly high reduction rate for men also highlights that “parenthood in STEM is not just a mothers issue；its a worker issue，” Cech says.She hopes that the findings “might motivate ch
35、anges”，such as more paid parental leave from both government and employers and policies that better support flexible work time without a tight routine.“We are not suggesting that people who want families should avoid STEM；thats not the solution，” she emphasizes.By 2018，78% of new fathers were still
36、working in STEM，the vast majority full time.For new mothers，68% were still in STEM，but only 57% worked full time.For professionals without children，on the other hand，84% of men and 76% of women were predicted to still be working in STEM full time in 2018.For the new parents across all fields，16% of
37、women were working parttime and 15% had left the workforce，as compared with just 2% and 3%，respectively，for men.These sharp differences make clear that，even though the reduction rate for fathers is higher than expected，mothers still face particular career challenges. 9What makes many STEM employees
