It's in the meat now what
It’s in fricking EVERYTHING, and it’s been that way for awhile. This isn’t news
And it will be in everything basically forever. Even if we all stopped using plastic RIGHT NOW, it would take 5000 years before a living organism was birthed that didn't already have it in its bloodstream.
The age of plastic is almost over. New bacteria are constantly evolving the ability to break it down for energy. Eventually there's gonna be one that nukes plastic permanently.
Andromeda strain soon
It's in the water. The water is in all life. There's no escape.
the beach exposes you to massive amounts of microplastic in the air, that lovely haze.
Hey look bro, it's inert. It isn't like asbestos (as far as anyone can tell), so just relax.
DYELs will find any excuse to have a shitty body, prime example is the microplastics nothingburger
Plastic ain’t shit bro, however women peeing their birth control into the water is a concern
doesn't water come from a dam that catches rain?
If you're using municipal water, you're getting recycled water that doesn't filter out common drugs.
pretty sure tap water comes from dams
Ok, well I am pretty sure you are moronic
pretty sure i'm not and that tap water comes from dams
Where does the water behind dams come from? You know what a dam is, right?
it's a natural body of water held by a dam topped up by rain water.
explain please
ignore the shill, estrogen is broken down quite literally in a few days and can't buildup in concentration when exposed to oxygen.
the whole idea that birth control can hurt anyone in our water supplies is absurd.
you would not be drinking water that quickly. as the water cyclers and pools sit there for multiple weeks.
city water be tasting realllllllyyyyy fricking SUS no cap frfr
oh yeah it's super fricked, but it's because of the fricking flouride and heavy metals more than anything.
Europe released multiple papers showing flouride reduced IQ by about 10 points.
natural estrogen yes but synthetic estrogen takes much longer. weeks. and depending on the oxygen levels in the water it may never break down lol.
>the whole idea that birth control can hurt anyone in our water supplies is absurd
post nose
I will eat eggs so
Does anyone know of any commercially available microplastic filter that I could pour my water through tho remove at least some of the shit?
I exclusively drink from puddles using a life straw.
>To avoid plastics I exclusively drink from puddles using a piece of plastic
It literally rains microplastic. It's even in water in the isolated mountain regions that were untouched by humans for thousands of year
*preferably one NOT made of plastic
If such a thing even exists
>Does anyone know of any commercially available microplastic filter that I could pour my water through tho remove at least some of the shit?
No. We're not talking about stuff that's like a grain of sand. We're talking about stuff that's smaller than viruses.
So I should drink my water throuh one of those covid masks is what youre telling me, good idea anon!
No its not
Why Too Many EGGS May Be Shortening Your Life (HINT: It's NOT The Cholesterol!)

Can't eat anything without getting poisoned
junk food might be the healthiest option soon
>blames all this shit on eggs
>ignores the fact that the problems are coming from other foods, i.e. diabetes is caused by excessive sugar intake
"Dr" Garret Smith is a schizo that thinks viruses aren't real
Have you ever seen a virus?
Yes
you know we have pretty powerful microscopes these days.
Where's the study, why are eggs bad? Why is that site so shit?
Also that title alone proves that dude is a c**t shill or a schizo.
Garrett smith is a moron who thinks that vitamin a is toxic and vitamin d is a rat poison, ignore and move on.
let me guess, he's also a flat earther?
Soon IST will believe the lies of this grifter and you'll get called a cucktroonyjidfshill for questioning it
>Does anyone know of any commercially available microplastic filter that I could pour my water through tho remove at least some of the shit?
There is no such filter that will exist. Microplastics are microscopic particles damn near bordering on the size of water molecules themselves. The only thing that's "filtering" your water at that point is one of two things:
An elaborate steamer that catches condensation on metal surfaces which is carefully calibrated to avoid wafting microplastics up and back into the collected condensation.
A centrifuge.
lifestraw filters remove them, allegedly
PurOne is good, Berkeys are gay and leach aluminium
Distillation, maybe, but since they are apparently airborne that might not even work.
Best thing you can get is a reverse osmosis filter paired with charcoal and coco fiber filters. As others have said, it will let nano particles through, as well as most of the water-soluble petrochemicals, but it's better than nothing.
Funnily enough, these filters are pretty much all plastic as well.
Make sure all your pipes are copper also.
Society's going to realize microplastics are as big an issue as global warming, if not bigger. There's so much plastic crap littering the environment. It never goes away. It just breaks down into smaller and smaller bits until eventually it's small enough to get into cells and frick things up there.
Every bit of plastic you see, imagine it split into individual atoms and spread all throughout the world. You can't filter it out of the water you drink—it's too small. Even if you could, you'd have to filter it out of all the water that goes into all the food you eat, too. You'd have to filter all the water on the planet.
That's what we're up against. And we keep making more and more.
Can't we just put them along with some chemicals to break the polymers or something? I don't know, I failed chemistry.
What about the plastic eating bacteria that keeps showing up in pop sci headlines?
the thing about plastic eating bacteria, atleast in my eyes, is that if you were to release the motherfrickers out into the wild with no consideration of the consequences, they would eat every single plastic, which means pieces of your car, airplanes, cables on your computer, on servers etc etc.
Everything these days essentially has some form of plastics in it, and unless these bacteria were grown in a very controlled and locked enviorment and then just burnt up to make sure they would not be released to the outside world, they're a bigger risk than reward
Checked
I'm not sure about the plastic consuming bacteria, but I've done some reading on algae that is being made to break down oil, and "eating" is an extreme and disingenuous overstatement when referring to this technology. These organisms do not subsist on oil or plastic, they simply have the ability to break it down, but they can't turn it into energy. Instead of imagining something which exclusively eats plastic and thrives in it, imagine a creature like a sea turtle that eats all sorts of things which turns the plastic into something biodegradable when it shits it out.
Biotech is not the threat/solution people think it is for the near-mid future
yeah the biodegradable shit was never my point, my understanding was that it essentially cleaved the connections in the plastic molecules which is what make it last the centuries it does, but again the same problem still stands even if it's bacteria or algae:
If any of these were to get into crucial systems on an aircraft for example, they can do enough damage to a plastic part to the point the aircraft could crash
don't use plastic in aircrafts.
>Eats all the plastic in the world thus causing fall of infrastructure and technology
GOOD.
frick off you silly israelite doomposter.
Oh no! Not individual atoms of carbon and hydrogen! So deadly!
Meanwhile natural test levels just keep nosediving further every decade
that aint from microplastics. Thats from onions in everything.
>Every bit of plastic you see, imagine it split into individual atoms and spread all throughout the world.
you're not wrong but you're moronic man
>as big an issue as global warming
so nothingburger
not an issue on a vegan diet
There has to be some kinda detoxing for this
Yeah. Donating blood.
Donate my pureblood blood? For free?
IT'S INSIDE ME
PARASITES AND MICRO PLASTICS ARE FRICKING UP MY GAINS
im gonna start injecting testosterone. i wont let the israelites win
This homie hasn't trained his parasites to eat the microplastics.
NGMI
I CAN ALREADY FEEL IT KILLING ME AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
GOODBYE!!!!!!
BE brave lityle PUSSY
It's in your blood too. You just figured it out, dipshit? We are all poisoned. But it was worth it so we could have funko pops and thomas the tank engine sets, right?
Artificial fibers are the worst when it comes to shedding microplastics. A funko pop sitting on some loser's shelf won't have a real effect on the environment until it gets tossed in a landfill and spends a few thousands of years breaking down.
By artificial fibers do you mean cloth like polyester?
The fact that you are even worried about this proves that you are a fricking homosexual who looks like shit
Post physique/face/then have a nice day
This shit doesnt matter and never has
There is nothing I can do about that or global warming, or stopping a war or anything like that. I just hope things turn out well because that's the best I can do.
I can't fall for the trap of bothering about using a paper straw instead of a plastic straw because I know my individual actions won't matter, it takes complex international politics and legislation, a lot of money and time to even begin to change that. No single specific human has chosen the current state of affairs and yet we all live in it just the same. It doesn't matter in any personal sense either, in the sense of protecting ourselves from plastic, they are everywhere already.
>it takes complex international politics and legislation, a lot of money and time to even begin to change that.
Well that shit won't happen if everyone does nothing, politicians don't move by themselves. Even if it's just to inform the masses of the problem, not it being a hard rule but taking the option when available/doable, already does something.
I totally agree actually, I'm just fricking tired.
I've tried to change things on a minor scale while working at a prefecture and it's all rigged, not that anyone was evil, it's just that humanity gets stuck in itself, corporations, governments, scientists, society is all tied in a knot. I know people working with environmental stuff and companies just buy their services for the tax evasion, the press, etc, keep them busy with some good faith project and when it's ready they put it on a drawer and forget it ever happened. And when I talk to people about it, the conversation derails in 30 seconds to the evil lefties or evil righties depending on who you are talking to, grown men acting like children. I'm sick and tired. If no one is willing to even listen, I'll just be at the bar drinking plastic with beer.
Don't confuse me with those idiots, I welcome and yearn for that change to happen, but while it doesn't happen, there is no need for me to change, no one can consume enough plastic straws in their lifetime to fix 0.00000001% of the problem and the illusion that these individual actions make a difference is itself part of the problem.
What's going to happen? I ask for a papers straw to the attendant, he talks to his manager about a 2% increase in demand for paper straws that day, he tells the head of the company, he softens his heart and reduce profits to save turtles and stoop funding some clown politician? Pathetic. As if we don't have literally everything around us be wrapped in plastic anyway.
I agree for the most part - governments need to force corporations to change, because they won't on their own, and gays like this guy will never change their moronic actions on their own unless forced. Like swapping out plastic straws for paper or metal ones, for example. Ban plastic straws so moronic gays like this anon can't use them, and he will be forced to change. They finally banned plastic bags in my state recently and it's very based. I've been using reusable, biodegradable bags for over a decade. It's literally easier and better than using those shitty ass plastic ones, zero inconvenience to you personally whatsoever. Yet everyone continued using them because humans are unthinking moronic cattle. And now they've been forced to stop, so they've stopped. Good. Now we need legislation to force calorie restrictions for these obese cattle. They'll never do it on their own.
Not gonna happend, big giga corps buy politicians and the goverment, just look at the jab and pandemic pushing.
Rothschilds knew this all along just buy the lawmakers lmao.
It's in the plants also.
check out the tomato study, most plants sold on the market contain microplastics.
if it drinks or utilizes water in any way, microplastics.
Yes it's literally everywhere.
Even if you put a global ban on all plastic products, it'd still be everywhere for thousands of years because it does not decompose.
It's here to stay. Avoid it if you can, but don't stress it.
>Image from the actual study
There's not really any plastic in beef and chicken, but it does show in miniscule amounts
What actaully has the microplastic is bottom feeding sealife, plant based "meat" and processed shit like nuggets.
For future reference OP, journalists are sensationalist homosexuals who don't actually care about informing the public. Link to the study and not articles.
>plant-based
>ground beef
>plant-based
>fish
Even in the study they're committing a grave sin by equivocating real meat to a mock-meat. Either it's beef or it's a söy/tofu product. Either it's fish or it's a plant product. It can't be both.
>ugh why didn't they just write "plant based product imitating ground beef" into the limited space under the graph?
autism
Somebody redpill me on crystal lights, are those dangerous now?
donate blood regularly and do what you can to avoid getting more of it. thats all you can do
What would happen if you snorted it and it dripped into your stomach
wouldn't have happened if Hitler won and everybody knows it
People here always complaining about microplastics, but tell these same chuds that car tires are the number one source of microplastic pollution and watch how they all of a sudden start denying it and arguing against actually helping solve they problem.
Thank you science for poisoning everyone
yes plastic in my blood is bad and all but have you considered how cool it is that I have access to the sum of all human knowledge from a COMPUTER in my POCKET?
Ho often do you use this tool to learn new not just shitpost on IST though?
>yes plastic in my blood is bad and all but have you considered how cool it is that I have access to the sum of all human knowledge from a COMPUTER in my POCKET?
what harm does it do when you eat it? wouldnt it just pass straight through? My sister swallowed a marble abd pooed it.
Can't say for certain but I'd assume the major problem is microplastic interaction with sex hormones.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9885170/
It could be the likely culprit for several problems including obesity, testosterone decline, rapid/early puberty in women, infertility in both genders, and much more.
Fake and gay
you fricking howie mandell tourettes moron Black folk!!
DOOMERS BEGONE
>all the zoomers are on micro plastic
>all the boomers are on lead and asbestos
Nothing new under the sun.
I like how nobody talks about how recycling might be responsible for more microplastics in products like bottled water. Stupid goys
Recycling is probably fine. Milkmen delivered milk to houses and recycled glass bottles for decades. The problem is more likely that we use plastic in everything instead of glass, metal, and other alternatives.
>Recycling is probably fine.
NTA, but buddy, plastic recycling is a scam. Most of it still ends up in landfills. There's also the psychological aspect of it which is harmful, but I digress.
Please read the full post.
not taking the health ramifications of microglass and micrometals seriously
just embrace it bro
>it would take 5000 years
i dont care, start fixing the damned problem.
>you cant avoid it
you can avoid 99% of it by not using shampoo, parfumes and detergents (also stuff to wash plates, you should wash them by hand with water and wash them with fire (oven))
Well, we will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: humans plus plastic.
There are supposedly bacteria that can fully break it down.
If said bacteria proved benign to humans, could we artificially introduce it to our digestive systems?
