Microplastic pollution is also in sea salt.

According to this article in Nature, microplastic particles are known to be commonplace in seafood, and a new study has found them in sea salt as well. Typical rates in this study were are 0-10 particles found per kg of salt. The sample from France had zero. The sample from Malaysia had to be discarded because the high levels of dirt made looking for plastic too hard.
