microplastics now found in human ovary follicular fluid

[Anonymous]

Ughhh, more evidence piling up regarding how horrible plastics are not just for the environment, but human health. They keep finding it in the reproductive tissues of humans, and even in the cerebrospinal fluid, IIRC. Single use plastics need to be phased out. We are currently trying to eliminate as much plastics as we can for all of our liquid and food containers and cookware.

It's much more than just plastic containers. MUCH MORE.

OK, and what specific health problems are evident because of this? I'm being snarky, but "plastics bad" is just as lazy.

Well, Trump just deregulated pfas in water. Two days into his administration. It is going to get much, much worse. Sadly.

Not MAGA and guess what - random googling is worse than spouting off nonsense on an anonymous message board.

Clothing is the main source of microplastics.

Polyesters and other synthetics = "plastic" and they constantly are degrading giving off micro and nano particles, when wearing them, laundering them, etc.

Food storage containers that hold food from source to consumer are 2nd largest exposure route. Even steel and aluminum cans are lined with plastic now.

Rubber tires are 3rd most common source, again becoming airborne, or also entering water supply from rain storm drainage.

Thank you, CHINA, and all the evil politicians that China owns.

The US government has been poisoning us for DECADES.

Thank you. Most people here have no clue why they’re sick, or can’t have a healthy baby.

Sick people keep big pharma and the medical complex and big insurance all laundering that money.

Sick weak drugged people are easier to control as well.

Petroleum products are ubiquitous in modern society. There is plastic in just about everything now, since it really took off over the last 50 years. 50 years prior to that, plastics going back to the first ones in the early 1900s were rarely used much other than in molded hardened forms. Formaldehyde was the main off gassing toxin for them, now it's much more.
