FILE - This May 19, 2010, file photo shows a blue rectangular piece of microplastic on the finger of a researcher with the University of Washington-Tacoma environmental science program, after it was found in debris collected from the Thea Foss Waterway, in Tacoma, Wash.

Yet little is known about the effects of these "microplastics" - on sea creatures or humans. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren, File)
