Plastics Impacts on Human Health
Public·20 students
Before this class, I was using mainly plastic tupperware to store leftover food. However, I soon found out that plastic packaging is one of the main causes for microplastics entering our body. I now prioritize purchasing foods that limit or do not include plastic packaging. Additionally, I now store food in glass containers to limit plastic contamination. I have noticed that I have been healthier as a result of this!
Plastic has a huge impact on our human health, different chemicals can leach from our plastic water bottles and dermatoligic products to enter our bodies. They are linked into serious health issues such as endocrine disruption, weight gain and stuff like cancer. Evidence has also shown that humans continuely inhane and ingest microplastic contaminated seafood.

It’s really scary too think about how much plastic there is and how badly it affects us. I had no idea that plastic could harm people that badly and even cause cancer.

Ever since I started using glass containers I realized how much cleaner it is. I never really looked much into microplastics and how they affect you and your food.
