Addressing Microplastics Through Science – Bugs And Alternative Materials

Microplastics have become a concern. These particles, smaller than 5 millimeters, slough off plastic as it degrades. It is a menace that is practically omnipresent and ubiquitous.According to an article published in the magazine of Harvard Medical School, Harvard Medicine, microplastics have been detected throughout the human body, including in the blood, saliva, liver, kidneys, and placenta.Microplastics, smaller than 1 micrometer, called nanoplastics, are even more dangerous because they can infiltrate cells. Apart from the human body, microplastics have penetrated – with their severely contaminating presence – the environment, marine wildlife, and animals.Microplastics could be found in human breast milk and an infant's first stool, the meconium, indicating that the danger of microplastics is walking alongside us, like an ominous shadow, from day zero.It could potentially cause oxidative damage, DNA damage, and changes in gene activity. It is also a known carcinogenic substance and, as Harvard Medicine reports, microplastics have been found responsible for reduced sperm count and quality, ovarian scarring, and metabolic disorders in offspring in studies done on mice.Despite its adverse effects, we humans constantly inhale and ingest microplastics through contaminated seafood, including fish and shellfish. They are present in tap water, bottled water, and other commonly consumed beverages like beer.A study cited by the United Nations estimated that the average adult consumed approximately 2,000 microplastics per year through salt
