donating blood and plasma regularly decreases microplastics in your body, it's pretty much the only way to do so
go give your microplastics to someone else
Is there any proof that it legit reduces the amount of microplastics in your body by any significant amount or is it just a "this makes sense" conclusion?
Not trying to be all "muh source", I genuinely want to believe and I'd start bloodletting if I was sure it worked.

Plastic pollution is a concern due to the increasing use of plastic materials, leading to a rise in microplastics (MPs). These MPs break down into smaller particles called weathered MPs (WMPs) when exposed to UV light and wind, increasing their potential harm. It's unclear if weathered polystyrene-MPs are harmful to the nervous system. To understand the risks, researchers studied WMPs generated in lab conditions that mimic the environment. They compared these with new plastic particles (VMPs) and found WMPs had a rough surface, were slightly yellow, had lower molecular weight, and altered structure. They fed WMPs and VMPs to mice and observed that WMPs triggered stronger immune and neurodegeneration-related responses in mice compared to VMPs. Similar results were seen in tests on human brain cells. This suggests that WMPs could cause more inflammation. In conclusion, the study demonstrates the toxicity of WMPs and their potential risks to both biological systems and humans in the ecosystem.
there’s the summary
there’s a multitude of reasons why humanity is fricked.
just be glad that we’ll probably won’t get the worst of it before we die and don’t put any children into this world so you don’t have to care for the future.
Toxic effect of microplastics on brain underestimated.
Distillation removes everything. There is so much shit in tap water, microplastics, fluoride, birth control, chlorine, metals etc etc. Bottled water is better than tap obviously, but still full of plastic. You absolutely should be filtering your water in some way.
Reverse-osmosis or distilation.
Idiots will reee and tell you that distilled water is bad for you because you need the minerals in water, which is only true if you don't get them elsewhere in your diet. Personally I use a RO machine that filters the water then readds minerals back to it, but they are expensive. 500 quid here in England, but worth it.
>yes American capitalism and millennials caused all this plastic, don't have kids woooh oooh!
real solution, Nuke SE asia
>>he thinks it's just the water
No I don't, but I can reduce personal intake by drinking clean or at least less polluted water. Improvement is better than dispair.
I have a water distiller for my carnivorous plants. Is there any point switching to drinking distilled water from metal and glass containers? Does distillation even remove microplastics? I know it's in food and air but a lower dose might help, no?

>so I can't fit an RO machine
homie you can get standalone ones like pic related which I have that just sit on your bench and only need a wall socket. Not trying to shill it but I'm sure the equivalent exists in your country. Or you can get the same one but you simply attach to a cold water pipe and a waste water pipe so you don't have to frick about refilling it twice a day. Even the ones you put under the sink aren't particularly invasive or hard to install/remove.
If you can distill already though then it might not be worth paying the money for something like this, unless you just want the convenience.
Soon I'm going to get a whole-house filter so I can have clean water coming out of every tap and actually have clean water to bathe and shower in. They're closer to a gran though, but even they are just three little cylinders that you connect beneath the stopwiener. None of these require massive plumbing jobs or reconstructions unless that shit is buried beneath sealed countertops for some reason.
>They're closer to a gran though
*closer to a grand. Something like 900 quid including the water softener. It'll be worth it to not have baths that smell like a fricking swimming pool
>People start to notice the climate meme >Stop being willing to jump through a million hoops for thinly veiled religious zealots >"Oy gevalt, quickly we need something new" >"Yes, perfect, magic particles that also mean they have to gut their living standards"
Stop buying every morons screeching just because it has a DOI number or is hosted on arxiv.
Fug DDD:
what can we do?

if the microplastics is in your blood
then removing your blood removes the microplastics
🙂
Trudge through it like all of biological history
It is what it is. I'll just do my best
not clicking that link moron. either post an image or copy paste the text, or get an AD

Isn’t this why scrotal sizes have decreased on average over the past 50 years?
As an American it pisses me off that they took my lead away to give me plastic.

>everything is fricked dont reproduce dont look at the problem run run run go hes coming`
No.

What a miserable homosexual you are. My children are going to rule over the ashes of this system like primitive barbarians
Zero chance I click on a link to some pajeet malware sounding domain name
I’m sure it’ll be fine. You guys need to learn to relax. The constant fearmongering bombardment isn’t good for the soul.
Capitalism did it. Frick corporation. Frick Angloids and frick banks.

I didn't blame america, capitalism or millenials in my post telling an anon to filter his water.
I agree with your solution, though.
>he thinks it's just the water
shit's fricked beyond all repair
>>he thinks it's just the water
No I don't, but I can reduce personal intake by drinking clean or at least less polluted water. Improvement is better than dispair.
whoops replied to wrong person
meant
yeah just move it all there and nuke it all and it all melts together into a huge mountain
>the countries that make our plastic and take our garbage pollute more
big brain moment
moron i
dont give a shit about how much plastic is in fish when the vast majority of plastic you consume comes from tires and your clothes.

I'm a rentkek so I can't fit an RO machine. I'll get a couple of metal jerry cans and start distilling all my drinking water.
