Scientists have discovered microplastics in almost all seafood
Almost all seafood are contaminated with microplasty, which, according to scientists , can be dangerous to human health. This conclusion was reached by researchers from the University of Oregon and Portland State University. For their work, they bought fish five different types and shrimp in stores and from fishermen in Oregon.
The largest percentage of pollution is observed in shrimp - in total, microplastics was present in 180 of 182 samples that were used in the study. The most common samples of plastic were fibers of clothing and textiles, more than 80 percent of pollution was a lot.
According to one of the authors of the study, microplastics enters the meat of fish during breathing or nutrition. And the toxins contained in the microplasty, according to The Guardian, are extremely harmful to us - they cause hormonal changes, cancer, and accumulations in heart tissue double the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke in the next ten years.
Water in bottles turned out to be dangerous to health, it contains hundreds of thousands of plastic particles that enter the bloodstream and even in embryos society 2 minutes of reading
The authors of the study advise buying a whole local fish - so you will minimize the danger of plastic from packaging from packaging into your body. But the rejection of seafood will not help you reduce the probability of encountering microplasty in products - it is found in water samples around the world, as well as in meat and vegetables, reports The Guardian. Scientists see the solution to this problem only in political measures that will significantly reduce the use of plastic by mankind.
