We produceren niet alleen teveel plastic, maar worden er ook nog eens ziek van, terwijl het moeilijk (zeg maar: nooit meer) uit het milieu verdwijnt. Dat vind ik: https://t.co/ZE4HL71Fkj
Plastics cause wide-ranging health issues from cancer to birth defects, landmark study finds
- First analysis of plastics’ hazards over life cycle – from extraction to disposal – also shows ‘deep societal injustices’ of impact

Listen to Sherri A. Mason (aka “Sam”) Director of Sustainability at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College and @DickVethaak, a biologist and toxicologist as they unpack...How Plastics & Plastics Pollution is Impacting Our Health

"Scientists have found microplastics in the bodies of many animal species worldwide...The search for plastic particles in human matrices has only just begun"
@DickVethaak & Concepción Martínez-Gómez on the health risks of microplastic debris 11/

😥Shocking news this week: #microplastics have been found in human #breastmilk for the first time. Researchers are greatly concerned about the potential health impacts on babies. They stressed breastfeeding remained by far the best way to feed a baby.👇

All plastic will eventually degrade into nano-sized particles that can potentially enter human bodies and disrupt how they function.
Why the world needs a system change for keeping microplastics out of animals, plants, ecosystems, and bloodstreams.

Global plastic pollution now ranks second to climate change as a serious environmental health threat.
Dr. Dick Vethaak and Dr. Concepción Martínez-Gómez highlight the potential harms microplastics pose to people’s bodies.

Please read this urgent appeal for an immediate system change by professor @DickVethaak. Vethaak says there is a wealth of evidence that plastic pollution affects human health and is related to local or global disease burden and mortality.

"Tolerable exposures to substances associated with deteriorations of semen quality are exceeded by a large margin. Bisphenols, polychlorinated dioxins, phthalates and analgesics drive these risks"
