Breathing may introduce microplastics to the brain – new study
Eight out of the 15 brains studied had microplastics in their olfactory bulbs.
Thankfully it's not much but I don't think I'll deeply sniff my laundry like they do in detergent commercials anymore lol
You're viewing a single thread.
Supposedly we ingest/breath a credit card worth of plastic every week.
Yeah, about five grams a week, apparently: https://www.reuters.com/graphics/ENVIRONMENT-PLASTIC/0100B4TF2MQ/
Where do the plastic go after they are inside us?
I like to think your body just uses it to replace some other organic materials. So effectively we're now beings who are like 0.5% made of plastic.
Mostly down the toilet.
Everywhere. They are very, very small. Small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier.
So thats why everyone is so fat
They don't know. It's found in sperm and embryos too.
My guess: it's the cause of low sperm count
