UniversidadxClimaThe shocking truth about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microplastics</a> There’s more plastic in the ocean than stars in the sky Wait… what? Yes really, there are now 170 trillion particles of plastic in our oceans 1700 times more than stars in our galaxy. The problem is, the plastic that gets thrown away never truly goes away. Instead, it breaks into tiny pieces - microplastics. Most are so small they are invisible to the human eye And they are everywhere. They’re in the air we breathe and the water we drink.

AskPippa🇨🇦Do plastic food containers cause <a href="https://c.im/tags/microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microplastics</a> to end up in your food? Yes, they can. Especially if there are aging, are heated a lot, are damaged, etc. It doesn't hurt to transfer stuff to glass containers. though <a href="https://c.im/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#plastic</a> lids and silicon seals can degrade and shed microplastics or other chemicals (but way less than if the whole container is plastic). To reduce my overall <a href="https://c.im/tags/microplastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microplastic</a> intake, I transfer much of the food I buy to glass containers (many of which are glass jam, salsa, pickle jars, that I clean and reuse). For liquids like cooking oil and Ribena which sit on my shelf for months at a time -- these, I transfer to wine bottles. Beware: canola oil looks like pino grigio so be careful which one you pour into your wine glass!<a href="https://www.foodfacts.org/articles/should-you-throw-out-plastic-containers-microplastics-kitchen-safety" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.foodfacts.org/articles/should-you-throw-out-plastic-containers-microplastics-kitchen-safety</a>

C Z Doval Santos<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Microplastics</a>, tiny pieces of plastic smaller than 5mm that can be found in our bodies. Some studies have shown that there are traces of microplastics in our blood and even in organs like the liver & brain. While there is ongoing research on the effects of microplastics on our health, it is still unclear how they move through our bodies & what harm they cause. Until more is known , it's best to be cautious about methods claiming to remove microplastics from our bodies. <a href="https://www.pressreader.com/uk/focus-science-and-technology/20250729/281943138906360" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.pressreader.com/uk/focus-science-and-technology/20250729/281943138906360</a>

Mojo ♻️More than Just Bottles: The Hidden Sources Fueling Plastic Pollution We often point fingers at bottles and straws, but new findings show that synthetic clothing, tyres, paint, and everyday wear are shedding tiny plastic particles—microplastics that now contaminate our soil, air, and even human bodies.
