‼️ NEW ANALYSIS ‼️
Do you know that we breathe #Plastics too😱?
Today we released a new briefing analyzing the health impacts of invisible micro- and nano-plastics in the air: ciel.org/reports/airbor…
A short thread with key takeaways from the brief 🧵👇

🥤Multiple sources, same origin: #Microplastics are ubiquitous in our environment, but they are mainly invisible. They can be intentionally produced or result from the fragmentation of larger plastics. They are part of the bigger #StoryOfPlastics, as they are a human creation.
When airborne, micro- and #Nanoplastics can travel quickly & cover great distances.
They can move thousands of kilometers in a matter of days to weeks, affecting even remote populations.
Humans can breathe airborne these #Plastics that move through the body via the bloodstream.

You are what you eat ~ We eat microplastics everyday.
Microplastics (5mm to 1 micron in size) & nanoplastics (less than 1 micron) are discoverable in human organs & research is in progress to discover how microplastics and nanoplastics affect our health. #CleanerSeas thread👇🏼

“It would be naive to believe there is plastic everywhere but just not in us. We are now providing a research platform that will allow us & others to look for what is invisible - these particles too small for the naked eye to see… cont. 👇🏼
The risk [to health] really resides in the small particles.” Rolf Haldon, Arizona State University.
