How can you avoid eating plastic?

Healthy..Do you think that eating plastic is harmful to health?? How to eat it, eat it without realizing it, new research shows that humans ingest and inhale tens of thousands of plastic particles annually. These tiny particles resulting from the decomposition of various products such as frames, contact lenses, etc., are scattered everywhere in the world from the top of the icebergs to the depths of the oceans.

Canadian researchers compared hundreds of data on plastic pollution, based on the average American's diet and Americans' consumption patterns.

As a result, they found that an adult man ingests 52 microplastics annually. With the calculation of air pollution, this number may reach 121 thousand.

In addition, 90 particles are added if the individual only consumes water bottled in plastic bottles, according to the study published by the "Environmental Science and Technology" magazine.

The researchers said the impact on health still needs to be studied. But these nanoparticles "can enter human tissues and cause a local immune reaction."

A professor of ecology at the University of East Anglia in Britain, who was not involved in the research, said there was no evidence that the plastic particles in the study "pose a significant risk to human health".

He considered that it is likely that a small part of the inhaled elements reaches the lungs for reasons related to the size of these particles.

The authors of the study felt that research should be strengthened on the amount of substances that reach the lungs and stomach and their impact on health.
