It’s very hard to visualise the ‘average person’ when everyone’s environment is so different.

Therefore, I wonder how much your location impacts the amount of microplastics you consume.

If you are located in Los Angeles is your intake higher than someone from Winnipeg?

Is living in Australia or New Zealand significantly advantageous to living in Europe or the US?

If so, by how much?

I don't know how significant it is, but they found microplastics in the arctic, which is very far away from where it would have come from.

That makes it sound like you're going to come into contact with it no matter where you go. It's still a question of severity, but it suggests you aren't safe from it anywhere.
