Exposure to plastic
Plastic is everywhere in our food, in our drinking water, and the air we breathe. But what are the health consequences of this exposure?
Health effects
We think that plastic is safe to use but more and more scientists are warning us. Plastic is an evasive and tricky substance. Especially the smallest plastic particles are a danger to our health.
Effects on health
We are constantly exposed to plastic, its chemicals and endocrine-disruptors such as BPA, but what are the consequences on our health?
Pathogens
Plastic has the ability to carry around pathogens and diseases. It also provides the perfect ground for bacteria and viruses to develop.
Knowledge gaps
Plastic has been found in human poop, but not only. Plastic particles can enter our blood, and pass through our skin. But more research is still needed.
Research on the human body
What effects does plastic have on the human body and how can we prevent it from entering our bodies in the first place?
