Regarding the impact of plastic pollution on us, I found a text saying: "Eating seafood is equal to eating plastic." Some readers have said that this statement is too extreme and alarmist, and the impact of plastic pollution has not yet reached this point.

Unexpectedly, in a leading research report published recently, Austrian scientists announced the first time that plastic particles were found in human stool samples.

Although scientists have been warning plastics about the potential dangers in our human food, the emergence of this direct evidence has caused a sensation!

This heavy news has sparked reports of authoritative media and scientific journals from all over the world.

Plastics are coming too fast from polluting the marine environment, causing damage to marine life, and actually starting to harm humanity.

"It is estimated that 50% of the world's people have plastic particles in the body."

According to reports, the Vienna University of Medicine in Austria and the Austrian Federal Environment Agency said that scientists have found plastic particles in the feces of the eight subjects involved in the study.

Philipp Schwabl, Ph.D., from the Vienna University of Medicine in Austria, published the results of the study at the 26th UEG Week Forum, confirming the long-standing doubts that plastics do enter the human body.

The eight people who actively participated in the trial were between the ages of 33 and 65. They did not know each other and lived in different areas. They came from different continents and lived in Japan, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland. Russia, Britain, Austria.

Dr. Philipp Schwabl publishes report at URG Forum

The experiment took one week. These subjects recorded their diets on a daily basis and provided their own stool samples as required after normal bowel movements. For the objective conditions of the experiment, the eight people involved in the experiment were not vegetarians. All of the participants consumed food packed in plastic or drank plastic water, and six people consumed fish or seafood during this period.

A week later, based on a sample test of the stools of the eight participants, it was found that not only the plastics of the eight people contained plastic particles, but also nine types of plastics, and about 20 microplastic particles per 10 grams of feces.

According to Dr. Philipp Schwabl, the plastic particles found are between 50 and 500 microns in diameter and come in a variety of shapes, including polypropylene (PP), polyethylene and para-dicarboxylate (PET), which are common in our daily lives. .

So where does the plastic that comes into the human body come from? According to the report, most of the plastic particles are decomposed from large plastic waste in the ocean, and the appearance of plastic particles in marine organisms is no longer news. .

Belgian and British researchers have found that Qingkou (also known as mussels), which often appears on seafood dishes, contains about 90 plastic particles per 20th.

Not only marine life, but studies have shown that American scholars have studied 150 samples of tap water from 14 cities on five continents and found that up to 83% of the samples have plastic particles. The drinking water you drink may contain invisible plastic fibers.

The study gives predictions of vibrating: It is estimated that plastic particles can be found in about 50% of the world's population, but it needs to be expanded Research to /confirm/i.

"New Zealand 9 kinds of fish 8 kinds have eaten plastic"

Dr. Ana Markic from the University of Auckland in New Zealand, after long-term research, found that 8 of the 9 commercially available fish in New Zealand are regularly eaten with plastic elements.

. A staff member from the 5 Gyers Institute in the United States conducted a survey at a beach in Wellington, New Zealand. In a short period of time, researchers collected hundreds of plastic microchips in an area of about a few square meters.

Researchers collect plastic debris within a few square meters. once the plastics enter the ocean, the plastics are consumed by marine animals and enter the food chain, and eventually they are likely to be consumed by humans. .

5 Gyers' research report shows that plastic products have begun to enter the New Zealander's food chain system.
