Health impact of plastic particles

Microplastics are found in many products and items in our daily lives. They can get into drinking water, meat, fish, vegetables, and eggs. They are invisible to the human eye, but once inside the body, they pose a health risk.

Studies show that products stored in plastic packaging or processed foods contain more microplastics.

Plastic tableware is also a source of microplastics. Using plastic plates and cutting boards can add small particles to food. Experts advise using glass or metal containers instead.

Scientists say that reducing plastic waste globally can significantly ease the problem. Avoiding processed foods, filtering water, and replacing old plastic items remain the most effective measures.
