At the European Parliament high level event on nanoplastics I saw how #allatra helped move the debate from alarm to action. Scientists presented first practical steps toward mitigation not just warnings. That shift matters for policy credibility. #ClimateAction #europa #nanoplastic #science https://allatra.org/press-release/first-steps-toward-solution-nanoplastics-were-presented-european-parliament

Researchers from the University Medical Center Utrecht found that immune cells exposed to nanoplastics die three times faster than normal.
When immune cells weaken or die prematurely, the body loses its ability to fight infections effectively.
At the same time, inflammation spreads more easily throughout the body.
Weakened immunity.
Chronic inflammation.

#FYI #PaulBeckwith video lecture and literature review #plasticpollution
"nanoplastics are everywhere and are in much higher levels than anybody thought, with the cumulative mass in the north Atlantic of 27 million tonnes, which exceeds that of much larger plastic chunks.
Because nanoplastics are so small, they easily pass through biological cell walls, and can penetrate everywhere including the entire human body" -

Levels of microplastics in human brains may be rapidly rising, study suggests
"The exponential rise in microplastic pollution over the past 50 years may be reflected in increasing contamination in human brains, according to a new study."
"The human body is widely contaminated by microplastics. They have also been found in blood, semen, breast milk, placentas and bone marrow. The impact on human health is largely unknown, but they have been linked to strokes and heart attacks".

>The brain samples, all derived from the frontal cortex, revealed substantially higher concentrations than liver or kidney, at 3,057 μg/g in 2016 samples and 4,806 μg/g (0.48%, by weight) in 2024 samples, ranging as high as 8,861 μg/g.
You know, this is one of those times where I hope peer review finds out that they messed up somehow. The technique they employ (Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) is apparently relatively novel, so... fingers crossed?

Happy to report: 1st successful deployment of the epibenthic sledge! Lots of 🦐 , sea cucumbers, amphipods, isopods & even some sponges that took some time to process for #microplastic, #nanoplastic & additive analyses at @awi & @ufz.
Great team effort 💪!

Wat een ellende laat de #mensheid toch achter! 😢🤬 Je ik weet, het #kapitalisme. Maar wie heeft dat uitgevonden en houdt zich daar mee bezig? Juist.
"… Wat de onderzoekers nu hebben ontdekt, gaat niet alleen over microplastics - deeltjes die 1 micrometer tot 5 millimeter groot zijn - maar vooral over nanoplastics. Deze nog kleinere plasticdeeltjes zijn zo klein - ongeveer duizend keer zo klein als de diameter van een gemiddelde mensenhaar - dat ze zich anders gedragen dan grotere stukjes plastic: ze kunnen door celwanden heen en ze kunnen binnendringen in onze organen. …"

Bij het drinken uit plastic flesjes krijg je honderdduizenden minuscule deeltjes #nanoplastic binnen. Dat blijkt uit nieuw onderzoek van de Columbia University in New York.
Er was al langer bewijs voor plasticdeeltjes die ronddrijven in flesjes met bronwater, maar het concrete aantal van gemiddeld 240.000 deeltjes per liter werd niet eerder genoemd. Het ligt ook 10 tot 100 keer hoger dan eerder geschat. De gezondheidseffecten moeten nog nader worden onderzocht...

🚨 New research on the effects of #plastics on human health found: Exposure of HUMAN neural stem cells to 30 nm #polystyrene #nanoplastic (0.5, 2.5, 10 μg/mL for 4 days) induced oxidative & cellular stress, DNA damage, changed inflammatory response & apoptosis, which could cause tissue damage & neurodevelopmental diseases.
