In 2004, Prof. Richard C Thompson OBE FRS led the first ever study – published in Science Magazine – to use the term #microplastics to describe the tiny plastic particles being found in the marine environment.

Two decades and 7000 studies later, he and colleagues worldwide have published a comprehensive review in @ScienceMagazine, saying we know enough about the causes and threats of all forms of plastics for them to be included within the emerging #PlasticsTreaty.

@ProfRThompson @ScienceMagazine Microplastics are getting deadly and are present everywhere! It’s time we change the way the plastic’s are designed and it’s disposal ♻️

Plastic drink bottles are being left in the sun before being sold in America This is a big deal because of microplastics. Just one day of sitting in the sun releases thousands to tens of thousands of additional microplastic particles Heat accelerates plastic degradation, increasing chemical and microplastic leaching It gets worse in the sun, higher temperatures break down chemical bonds in plastic. This causes more microplastics to leach into the drink A 2024 study found an average of 240,000 plastic particles per liter in bottled water, with 90% being nanoplastics (smaller than 1 micrometer) and 10% microplastics (1-5 mm) What’s happening here with these drink bottles being left in the sun behind stores is very common, I’ve shared multiple videos of this same thing happening. It happens with sports drinks and water bottles

This is insane “Guess how many microplastics they found in a can of Coke?” - Plastic bottles contain 250,000 microplastics per liter - There are 3.7 million in a single can of Coke Read that again. “The numbers just mean that on a daily basis we are ingesting millions and millions of nanoplastics And if you look at this — they've been found in every single man that's ever been studied in their testicles. They've been found in brain, ovaries, kidneys, every organ in our body is full of these particles. They can directly be damaging to our ability to produce hormones” There is also research that shows microplastics are being going in our brains. In fact our brains are now 0.5% plastic according to a study by the National Institutes of Health This has to stop, we need revolutionary change and regulations against microplastics

🥬 The bacteria in kimchi might be quietly pulling microplastics out of your body. Scientists found a probiotic strain that physically grabs onto plastic particles in your gut and carries them out as waste. 🔬 In mice, it more than doubled the nanoplastics excreted. ✨ #omgfacts #Kimchi #Science #Health

Big News ‼️ The Trump administration says it will decrease the levels of micro plastics in medicines and drinking water New research shows microplastics in the brain could be causing dementia A team “looked at brain tissue from cadavers and found that the average brain could contain up to 7 grams of microplastics. That's roughly equal to the weight of a plastic spoon, just in the brain” “Research has shown nanoplastics can cross the blood-brain barrier, and one of the startling discoveries from this study showed that in the brains of those who had dementia, there were significantly higher levels of microplastics” “In those dementia cases, there was 5-8x more plastic in those individuals” “In a separate study, researchers found microplastics in placentas, suggesting pre-birth exposure coming from the mother's bloodstream through the placenta in utero. And they found that babies born preterm who face higher rates of complications had a higher concentration of microplastics in their blood” I found 10 common things you can get microplastics from in America Bottled water Tap water Seafood Table salt Beer Tea bags Synthetic clothing Cosmetics Air dust Food packaging Microplastics pollute water, fish eat the feeders who eat the microplastics and that’s why seafood is a source of microplastics We have to stop the plastic pollution

Human brains are accumulating microplastics, and the levels are shockingly higher in individuals with dementia A study of autopsied human brains found they contained far more plastic than other organs—up to 20 times more, in fact Even worse, dementia cases showed up to ten times the plastic load of non-dementia cases While causation remains unproven, the evidence is a chilling wake-up call about the potential role of microplastics in neurodegenerative diseases

Microplastics have already been detected in the air and in the ocean. New research shows that plastic particles affect the distribution of water in clouds and the ocean’s heat conductivity. How could these findings help to adjust our climate models? Learn more via the link.

100% of glass bottled waters we tested had microplastics Icelandic Glacial glass bottled the most with 1,377 microplastic particles per liter. Icelandic claims to be naturally filtered through volcanic rock, but around half of the microplastics were polyamide, the same material used in commercial water filtration membranes. Hallstein glass bottles had the second most at 136 particles per liter. Yet they claim they are microplastic-free in their marketing. Aqua Carpatica in glass tested at 73 particles per liter. Mountain Valley Glass had 18 microplastic particles per liter which was lower than most others we tested We are still waiting on the Evian glass bottle result but their plastic bottle showed just 6 particles per liter of microplastics. Which makes sense since plastic bottles shed nanoplastics, not microplastics. Microplastics come from the painted metals caps on glass bottles What you want is a glass bottle with verified low microplastics and ideally low contamination. In this test Mountain Valley had the lowest microplastics for glass bottles Check all the plastic reports for yourself on Oasis app

While the destructive environmental impact of plastic is well known, it poses serious health challenges as well. In the last few weeks alone, there have been a couple of studies that have shown the health impact of microplastics. One study found microplastics in the human placenta. Another study found that micro and nanoplastics in key arteries, leading to an increased risk of heart attack. One of the interesting startups we have partnered with through Rainmatter by Zerodha is Zerocircle. They have developed and are scaling alternatives to bio-plastic. Here's Neha the founder, talking to Hansi explaining what inspired her and how seaweed can potentially help us with our plastic problem.

The international supermarket Nino Salvaggio in Northville, Michigan is leaving their cases of water out in 90 degree heat - Most bottled water already contains microplastics, tens to hundreds of particles per liter on average - Leaving it out in the sun at 90 degrees released millions of submicron particles per liter Prolonged outdoor exposure of just hours can degrade the plastic surface, releasing particles

Saunas won’t detox microplastics from your body There is no established mechanism for plastic particles in the bloodstream to escape through your sweat glands Once microplastics enter circulation, they’re difficult to remove, making it more practical to prevent their absorption One of the best defenses is fiber Soluble fibers like psyllium husk and β-glucans form a viscous gel that can limit absorption, while insoluble fiber helps move plastic particles through the gut before they can enter circulation

STUDY: CHEWING GUM PACKS A MICROPLASTIC PUNCH Love to chew gum? You’re also likely munching on microplastics. Researchers found that each stick of gum can release about 100 microplastics as you chew. The culprit: the gum’s base, made from a plastic polymer. Health experts are raising the alarm, pointing out that these tiny plastic bits can cling to bacteria and may pose health risks. As gum chewing stays popular worldwide, this new study shows it’s not just your teeth that take a hit, it’s a ‘fresh’ reminder that microplastics are everywhere, even in our favorite treats. Sounds like something Robert F. Kennedy Jr needs to look into. Source: CBS
