FOR THE FIRST TIME! SCIENTISTS DISCOVER MICRO-PLASTICS IN HUMAN BLOOD! BIO-DEGRADABLE IS THE WAY OUT !

Information

For the first time ever

Micro-plastics have been found in human blood.

 

       According to the Guardian report,Dutch scientists analyzed blood samples from 22 anonymous donors. Quantifiable micro-plastics were detected in the blood of 17 people(77%), with an average concentration of micro-plastics particles in the blood as high as 1.6 micro-grams per milliliter. The most common plastics are polyethylene terephthalate(PET),polystyrene(PS), polyethylene(PE),polypropylene(PP) and polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA). It is believed to be the first time micro-plastics have been found in human blood. The study was published in Environment International (IF=9.621), the top journal in the field of environmental science, in the early morning of March 25th, Beijing time.

      50% of the subjects contained PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which was commonly found in beverage bottles such as cola juice, mineral water, and some medicine bottles.Polystyrene(PS), found in food packaging such as foam lunch boxes, was found in 36% of the subjects. The rest of the subjects had polyethylene(PE),the main ingredient in plastic bags.

 

How do micro-plastics get into the body?

 

By drinking,breathing,eating,etc

 

     So how do micro-plastics get into body? A paper in the journal Science reports that micro-plastics can enter the body through inhalation and ingestion. Newcastle University in the UK finds from 33 studies that water is the biggest route for the penetration of micro-plastics in the human body. Breathing is also one of the ways plastics enters the body, researchers found in 16 analyses of indoor and outdoor air quality. In addition, research published by the European Society of Gastroenterology in 2018 confirmed that the human diet is also a way for micro-plastics to penetrate the body.

 

How big is the micro-plastics crisis?

It can even be inherited.

 

Researcher believed that micro-plastics in the human body act slowly like a frog boiled in warm water , causing damage to the lymphatic system, digestive system and reproductive system.

 

 

      A recent study found that micro-plastics can attach to the outer membrane of red blood cells and potentially limit their ability to deliver oxygen. Scientists found in pregnant mice that micro-plastics can quickly pass through the lungs to the fetus’s heart,brain and other organs. Research has shown that micro-plastics can have toxic effects on cells and change their shape. Studies in mice have shown that they may penetrate the blood-brain barrier and cause high cholesterol and heart disease.

 

 

         In addition, Italian researchers found micro-plastics in the human placenta for the first time at the end of 2020, and also found micro-plastics in the mother, placenta and amniotic membrane. If a woman with micro-plastics particles becomes pregnant, the fetus is more likely to have micro-plastics particles in its body, and the number of micro-plastics particles in the fetus is 10-20 times higher than the mother’s!

 

The micro-plastics are rapidly eroding our health and even our future generations!

 

Where is the way out for plastic pollution?

Biodegradable is the way to go.

 

     Micro-plastic particles "invade" life and become the "Sword of Damocles" hanging above human heads. The development of degradable packaging is the way out. More than 70 countries and regions around the world, including China, have promulgated and implemented the "plastic ban". In this context, bio-based degradable packaging has become one of the emerging industries with great development prospects.

 

      Pulp molding products are unique in their wide range of raw materials, non-polluting, easily degradable, recyclable and recyclable, as well as their environmental protection style, which makes them stand out among all kinds of plastic material substitutes. Not only has it become a beautiful landscape in the current tide of environmental protection, it has also become one of the most effective ways to prevent "white pollution"..

 

Go green, pulp molding is your best choice

As a new environmental protection material ,pulp molding products have been known to the public gradually in recent years. Four advantages of pulp molding:

1.Use plant fiber pulp or waste paper as raw material, with wide sources and low price.

2.Its production process is completed by pulping, adsorption forming, drying and setting processes. It’s harmless to the environment.

3.It can be recycled and reused.

4.Its volume is smaller than foaming plastics and it can be overlapping. The transportation is convenient.

 

Pulp molding is also widely used, not only egg trays, fruit trays, but also common industrial shock-resistant packaging materials. Pulp molding can also be used as paper cutlery paper lunch box, which is widely praised and popular.

 

 

Which is the best pulp molding manufacturer?
