Funny how we know microplastics negatively affect our health and yet every time it's brought up the burden of responsibility to do something about it is always placed at the consumer to find alternative products, instead of the plastic companies themselves to develop new materials that are less toxic to the body. There are some companies out there who are developing biodegradable products, so why is that not a nationwide mandate? Also, why is there not an international effort to remove plastic from the ocean, rivers, lakes etc.? The only one who is doing something about plastic in the oceans, The Ocean Cleanup, is a privately funded company. Microplastics reach us because they reach our food source, such as seafood. So we need to remove them from our environment before it can be removed from our bodies.

Well glass sounds great but I can tell you that in my county they are stopping glass recycling bc they can't find buyers and it's costing more than 1/4 million to grind.

The corporations ARE the people in charge, unfortunately. The people need to take over and hold corporations and politicians accountable. There's power in numbers. Organize like your life depends on it (because it does.)
The problem isn’t just plastic bottles, as many people think. The real issues are everyday things: vacuuming plastic carpets and throwing the debris in the toilet, washing synthetic clothing that sheds plastic fibers into the water, or using plastic sponges that break down and go down the drain. Everyday crap like that we all do. All of these activities release microplastics into our water systems. Plus, industries like construction, manufacturing, and mechanics flush microplastics into drains every day. The real problem is with products that shed plastic fibers, not just the bottles we can easily see and blame. So it's easy to see who's fault is here. STOP buying anything that leaks plastics, as much as you can, is at least you can do about it.
It’s crazy man, we’re trying to eliminate as much plastic as we can at home but like you said when you realize it’s in your towels, carpet, food containers, soap, EVERYTHING it’s very difficult!
That's impossible. Most people wear polyester and have microfiber sheets and towels. It's the cheapest option now that brands have decided cotton is luxury. Living without these fibers is a big ask these days.
Uh, I work at a packaging plant. You have NO idea how much plastic is out there before you even SEE it at the store. In ONE day a company can produce more plastic packaging than every house in a small city.
This segment completely omits talking about how microplastics are in the food we eat (particularly seafood) because of runaway plastic pollution in our rivers, streams, and oceans. What needs to be done is for governments to hold manufacturers of products that contribute disproportionately to plastic pollution change make less plastic products. The answer is not always with the consumer, especially in this case when are literally swimming in a mess of our own creation
Yes, I've been gearing up to write my local representatives to do better -- we need to pressure our leaders to make this a priority! (While also choosing ethical and sustainable brands to the best of our ability 💪🏼)
@EB-mz4nk farm raised salmon has its own issues of high amounts of antibiotics, eutrophication of rivers and nearshore waters. Plastics are everywhere but I would think wild caught in moderation would still be best
First reaction “I don’t think I can do anything about it” is already self defeating. At least let’s vote to stop more microplastic going into the environment
Oh! In 80's and 90's my mom worked on heslth services and she always said to me NEVER use plastic to food, NEVER with hot things, her concerns was about cancer.

There’s a positive correlation between blood plastic and fertility. You can absolutely do something now to drastically reduce plastic intake. Do not heat plastic food containers using a microwave or placing hot food in it. Avoid buying takeout or restaurants with plastic plates. If you must, dine in for cold foods when at a plastic using restaurant. Do not buy plastic drink containers, buy glass. Plastic leaching is greatly reduced at room temperature but is significant when heated or exposed to sun rays such as your soda when it’s being shipped.

@@srealone788I see both sides of the coin of life in this. I see the beauty and ugliness of this world intertwined.

Some humans can be parasitic diseases that their only drive is greed and power to control the masses. But there is also beauty in nature, animals & the few humble humans out there that risk it all for the better in humanity. What do you think is the root of all evil?
That's like saying you should just stop brushing your teeth because bacteria will repopulate. You can't get your microplastics ingestion down to 0% but you can GREATLY reduce it by no longer consuming food/beverages stored in plastic. You can also significant reduce the microplastics inside your body by sweating and donating blood/plasma regularly.
I recently switched out plastic tooth brushes for bamboo, and this is a good reminder to avoid straws, as well. I will continue to limit plastic containers and water bottles as much as possible, and get an air purifier since I wonder if it’s in the air we breathe, as was mentioned. If companies stopped selling cheap crap we’d all not have these issue. Who knows how many undiagnosed illnesses are being swept under the rug due to the trauma our bodies are going through trying to process plastic in our bodies.
...And "living on an island, all by yourself" (as the hostess suggests, in the interview here), doesn't solve the problem, either, because we've polluted our oceans to the point, that there's now a garbage patch (OF PLASTICS) in the Pacific. We've got to take better care of Mother Earth!
VERY VERY sadly we were warned A LONG time ago by President Jimmy Carter ( who put solar panels on the white house which Reagan torn down ) to slow down when driving to use less gas which is TOXIC to ALL living things To NOT build GIANT houses , to NOT use SO MUCH energy for heat and air conditioning . Not only did people NOT want to listen . They got angry about it and voted for Ronald Reagan .

I worked in the forestry industry for six years. It's a renewable resource. I scream at my bank every two weeks when the machine informs me paperless is the way to go. PAPER LASTS LONGER THAN COMPUTERS DO!!! If you're working something important, make sure you have a physical copy.
All of your clothes are made out of plastics it’s not just containers. Every time you wash your clothes microplastics are being released into the environment.
This!!! Yes, exactly!!! Try finding clothes that don't have a petroleum based product in them. Whatever happened to 100% cotton tshirts or jeans, for example?
@@junglechick13right?? I recently realized at this point that if I want fully cotton jeans that fit decently I have to make my own. I'm currently still working up the nerve to make some kind of soft trouser, but having recently read the book, "To Dye For," I've finally found full motivation to drop polyester for good!
I think plastic-eating bacteria would have evolved long before those 'hundreds of years' and would have decomposed all the plastics. Which isn't exactly a great situation either because plastic is a very useful material due to its inability to rot.
let us all remember that tires are made from plastic and are constantly getting sanded on whatever road they're in, releasing microplastic. I'm only leaving this comment 'cause I bassically never hear ppl point this out.
EPA is reviewing a ban, and that's why you see stories like "Vinyl records are making a come back" they are trying to sell off as much PVC before it's considered hazardous waste.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the connection between the olfactory bulb and the brain basically just an electrical connection? And if so, wouldn't the blood brain barrier protect the actual brain tissue from microplastics?
Explains why my body is sick all the time and I feel eye soreness and breathing issues and I don’t even smoke. Also my nasal passages are clogged up constantly. My whole body aches all the time.
That is not right at all. Have you gotten checked out by a doctor yet? How long have you been experiencing these symptoms, if you don’t mind me asking?
I've been making changes over the years to reduce my plastic consumption. its hard though because plastic is in practically EVERYTHING. Makes me wonder if microplastic are getting through my Brita filter now. 😒
Plastics itself are not toxic, its the chemical added and plasticizers that are toxic. Plastics are polymers. Polymers are monomers that have reacted. Of course PVC is not ideal, but PE, PVA, PEG, are fine.
MOVE TO HEMP EVERYRHING! Porducts that require water proofing can be spray treated. Products that need to be resilient can be spray hardened. No reason why in this time, plastics are still the first choice for most things.
They have always been there. Since the beginning of plastics. This shouldn't surprise anyone but the media. So have all the chemicals we have manufactured over the years. This is the cost of living the way we do.
Microplastics, it is your car wheels, is in computer, is your shower, it is your food, it is your soda can (aluminium, steel, does not matter) it in your clothes, it is everywhere.
My understanding is that phthalates are a chemical component of plastics, not microplastic particles. Microplastics might release phthalates in the body - like a time release suppository - eww. Is that why phthalates are being lumped in with microplastics? ~ When my niece was a toddler she would pull bits of fluff from her synthetic fiber blankie and stick it in her fist under her nose while she was sucking her thumb. It seemed cute at the time, now I worry for her. Quote from the article: "The cribriform plate reaches maturation at 1 to 2 years of age, which is a critical time window during which MP penetration into the brain could have negative effects on the organ maturation."
They totally edited the real thing she said. You can hear them chopping up what she said mixed the words around to make it sound like what they wanted her to say. @1 minute
I work in productive plastics.. the amount of plastic debri that go in the trash or out of the door maybe even in the drains after you wash your hands makes me realize this problem isn't going to go anywhere.
I've got a group of 3 friends who all live in an old 1960s house that still has vintage 1970s polyester shag rugs. They all seem a bit zoned out most of the time and they're not even pot smokers. Hmmmm?

With the cognitive dissonance in this world, it’s understandable to feel like no matter what you do there is this evil force in our subconscious preventing humanity from enlightening ourselves to our full capabilities. Some humans can be parasitic diseases that their only drive is greed and power to control the masses. But there is also beauty in nature, animals & the few humble humans out there that risk it all for the better in humanity. What do you think is the root of all evil?
That's like saying you should just stop brushing your teeth because bacteria will repopulate. You can't get your microplastics ingestion down to 0% but you can GREATLY reduce it by no longer consuming food/beverages stored in plastic. You can also significant reduce the microplastics inside your body by sweating and donating blood/plasma regularly.
That's scary to do too 😢@@derpymcderpello5381
At least we can stop wondering why so many of us get dementia or cancer in our senior years.
I recently switched out plastic tooth brushes for bamboo, and this is a good reminder to avoid straws, as well. I will continue to limit plastic containers and water bottles as much as possible, and get an air purifier since I wonder if it’s in the air we breathe, as was mentioned. If companies stopped selling cheap crap we’d all not have these issue. Who knows how many undiagnosed illnesses are being swept under the rug due to the trauma our bodies are going through trying to process plastic in our bodies.
But microplastics, unfortunatly, are also in ours veggies.
Your air purifier is likely made out of plastic. 😕😞
They are in our drinking water and in the air. There is no escaping them.
Forgot about our food too

...And "living on an island, all by yourself" (as the hostess suggests, in the interview here), doesn't solve the problem, either, because we've polluted our oceans to the point, that there's now a garbage patch (OF PLASTICS) in the Pacific. We've got to take better care of Mother Earth!
Mother Earth will be taking care of all of us John Wick style, the way we treated her.
VERY VERY sadly we were warned A LONG time ago by President Jimmy Carter ( who put solar panels on the white house which Reagan torn down ) to slow down when driving to use less gas which is TOXIC to ALL living things To NOT build GIANT houses , to NOT use SO MUCH energy for heat and air conditioning .

Why is the audio so choppy? Was this heavily edited?
microplastics
It's not choppy. That's the microplastics in your brain, specifically your auditory center. Sorry mate 😢
Sounds like a wireless mic issue to me. I work in event audio visual and multimedia.
I think this could be why We've seen such a change in the last couple of generations with people in depression, anxiety and other mental illness.
That is a good thought, but I think more than that, is the rise of electronics and screens
The audio engineer definitely has micro plastics in the brain.
Thanks to the comments, I can stop searching for the problem at my end.

True
thought the right answer was paper
I worked in the forestry industry for six years. It's a renewable resource. I scream at my bank every two weeks when the machine informs me paperless is the way to go. PAPER LASTS LONGER THAN COMPUTERS DO!!! If you're working something important, make sure you have a physical copy.

All of your clothes are made out of plastics it’s not just containers. Every time you wash your clothes microplastics are being released into the environment.
This!!! Yes, exactly!!! Try finding clothes that don't have a petroleum based product in them. Whatever happened to 100% cotton tshirts or jeans, for example?
@@junglechick13 Yep. The worst clothes, i'm guessing from China.
@@junglechick13right?? I recently realized at this point that if I want fully cotton jeans that fit decently I have to make my own. I'm currently still working up the nerve to make some kind of soft trouser, but having recently read the book, "To Dye For," I've finally found full motivation to drop polyester for good!
Why is her audio glitching during the interview? Is it edited?
People don’t realize that even if we stopped producing plastic from here on in , microplastic is here to stay for hundreds of years.
But it will get worse and worse the more we use.
Gotta start somewhere
I think plastic-eating bacteria would have evolved long before those 'hundreds of years' and would have decomposed all the plastics. Which isn't exactly a great situation either because plastic is a very useful material due to its inability to rot.
GREAT another thing to worry about 🙄🤦🏽♂️

let us all remember that tires are made from plastic and are constantly getting sanded on whatever road they're in, releasing microplastic.
I'm only leaving this comment 'cause I bassically never hear ppl point this out.
Thank you. Everyone thinks of the dumbest things like 'going back to glass bottles' will save the world. Probably texting while driving their SUV.
actually tires are not just releasing micro plastics, they are releasing a crap ton of micro plastics. One of the main contributors.
Are you by any chance driving a toy car?
@@Armor3d0negood point. Toy cars would probably also have microplastics

They really need to study this more. I think we'd see why so many people are "losing their heads" and also having so many hormone disruptions.
But thats what they want
So PVC tubing/pipe that is used in most new residential plumbing, is #3.
EPA is reviewing a ban, and that's why you see stories like "Vinyl records are making a come back" they are trying to sell off as much PVC before it's considered hazardous waste.

Wait, she just said microplastics are getting into the olfactory bulb, but not the brain??? Change this headline.
Uh, olfactory bulbs ARE part of the brain. Lady doesn’t understand neuroscience.
Finally, someone else paid attention
That's part of the brain though
THE OLFACTORY BULB IS IN THE BRAIN. THE PROBLEM HERE IS WHY ARE PEOPLE SNORTING PLASTIC. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the connection between the olfactory bulb and the brain basically just an electrical connection? And if so, wouldn't the blood brain barrier protect the actual brain tissue from microplastics?
I have a stroke from your video clip

Explains why my body is sick all the time and I feel eye soreness and breathing issues and I don’t even smoke. Also my nasal passages are clogged up constantly. My whole body aches all the time.
That is not right at all. Have you gotten checked out by a doctor yet? How long have you been experiencing these symptoms, if you don’t mind me asking?
Make sure it's not mold either, if doctors haven't been able to figure out what the problem is. You can get urine tests done to check for mycotoxins
I've been making changes over the years to reduce my plastic consumption. its hard though because plastic is in practically EVERYTHING. Makes me wonder if microplastic are getting through my Brita filter now. 😒
Wait a second you are telling me you never heard of micro metals and micro glass
It's in the food wakeup!
“American cheese” is definitely made out of mostly plastic
It’s in everything, even face wash, soaps, tampons and shampoos.
Plastics itself are not toxic, its the chemical added and plasticizers that are toxic. Plastics are polymers. Polymers are monomers that have reacted. Of course PVC is not ideal, but PE, PVA, PEG, are fine.
we need to come up with better ideas on how to handle this problem before it over takes us and becomes the biggest problem
MOVE TO HEMP EVERYRHING! Porducts that require water proofing can be spray treated. Products that need to be resilient can be spray hardened. No reason why in this time, plastics are still the first choice for most things.
Spray treating for waterproofing opens another whole can of toxic worms....
Recently had a hemp made straw and it didn’t turn to mush like the paper ones, in fact it felt like plastic. It was just brown instead of clear.

Plastic bottles isn't where airborne micro plastics are coming from. They're coming from washing and drying polyester and fleece clothing mainly. Buy natural materials like cotton, rayon, bamboo, hemp, etc instead.
who keeps disturbing the sound, is it being blocked by companies or smth so the word doesn't spread?
They have always been there. Since the beginning of plastics. This shouldn't surprise anyone but the media. So have all the chemicals we have manufactured over the years. This is the cost of living the way we do.
This explains all the influencers.
And who is going to jail for that ??? They know it for a long time !!!
Humanes are soooo stupid !!!
Microplastics, it is your car wheels, is in computer, is your shower, it is your food, it is your soda can (aluminium, steel, does not matter) it in your clothes, it is everywhere.

Oh, good…it’s not just me.
I thought I had micro plastics in my ears.
Or, maybe you also have them 🤔
My understanding is that phthalates are a chemical component of plastics, not microplastic particles. Microplastics might release phthalates in the body - like a time release suppository - eww. Is that why phthalates are being lumped in with microplastics?

When my niece was a toddler she would pull bits of fluff from her synthetic fiber blankie and stick it in her fist under her nose while she was sucking her thumb. It seemed cute at the time, now I worry for her. Quote from the article: "The cribriform plate reaches maturation at 1 to 2 years of age, which is a critical time window during which MP penetration into the brain could have negative effects on the organ maturation."
The picture def changes over time and it is a concern. I'm not surprised children are obviously having brain and behavior changes

The consumers have become the product.
I work in productive plastics.. the amount of plastic debri that go in the trash or out of the door maybe even in the drains after you wash your hands makes me realize this problem isn't going to go anywhere.
I've got a group of 3 friends who all live in an old 1960s house that still has vintage 1970s polyester shag rugs. They all seem a bit zoned out most of the time and they're not even pot smokers. Hmmmm?
So what about literally eating plastic in pills, a study on that would be kinda obvious.
