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

A nice overview: Microplastics are in our bodies. Here's why we don't know the health risks https://t.co/nvCWu8o6R8

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"

@bnmelgert Well done Barbro!

😥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.👇

Microplastics are everywhere, but how do they affect our health? Dutch scientists initiated groundbreaking research into the impact of #Microplastics on #HumanHealth https://t.co/rNnz14YYNc

[Think Global Health @ThinkGlobalHlth]

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.

[Think Global Health @ThinkGlobalHlth]

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.

[Plastic Soup Foundation @plasticsoupfoun]

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.

@martiwag Thanks Martin, it was team work!

"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"
