It is not unknown to say that plastic contaminants play a harmful role in environmental pollution. Being polluted by plastic waste in the world's largest water bodies. These plastices are also entering our stomach without knowing it. Surprisingly, UK researchers said that British people took 70,000 microplastic pieces per year through food. A study published in the Journalal Environmental Pollution shows that almost all British homes have a paste in the plate after dinner. And on average, there are 14 pieces of microplastic pieces on a platelet plate. Researchers collected 100 microtolic pieces from these pistachio plates and found that these plastic particles came from clothes, car tires, carpets and other plastic pieces used in daily life.
Not only that, in the study, plastic fiber was found in C-food. Research author Ted Henry said that plastic materials used at home attract other toxic contaminants. Moreover, the increase in plastic production worldwide also increased. In the meantime, by the year 2050, plastic waste will grow 12 billion metric tons worldwide.
Food plates are not the only means by which the plastic enters the body. The study found that a glass of water in the United States is 4.8 plastic fiber in the water. On the other hand, in the same quantity of water in Europe, 1 decimal 9 plastic fiber. And bottled water seems to have more than double its plastic, researchers said.
