A group of scientists working at the Medical University of Vienna conducted a study on mice. The aim of this research was to determine what changes would occur in the brains of mice that ate microplastics. The research has produced literally dire results. Because it turned out that microplastics can penetrate into the brain.
As part of the research, scientists fed 6 experimental mice foods filled with micro and nano plastic waste. The brains of the mice began to fill with micro and nano plastic particles just 2 hours after feeding. News from Australia has led to the belief that small plastics are much more dangerous than anticipated.
Micro and nano plastics are associated with very serious diseases!
Lukas Kenner, who made statements about the research, said, “Plastic particles in the brain can increase the risk of inflammation, neurological disorders and even problems such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.” By using his expressions, he has revealed how much of a risk we are actually at.
So why should we worry about micro and nano plastics?
Micro and nano plastic particles are spread everywhere you can think of. So much so that food packaging, plastic bottles and drinking water are very suitable areas for these particles, most of which are invisible to the naked eye. In fact, studies have revealed that a person can swallow up to 90,000 particles through drinking water for a year. These may be reaching the brain in humans as well as in mice.
In fact, micro and nano plastics have already entered our bodies. Fish are already ingesting these plastic materials due to ocean and seawater pollution. In fact, in a study, it was found that even a placenta contains microplastics. All these facts are a clear indication that our health will gradually deteriorate.
So what exactly is microplastic?
