very intriguing discussion in this chemistry session that most of us are unaware of the microplastic phenomena that apparently is quite invasive in today's world. some of the high lite of our discussion involve bacteria eating plastic island has been reported on the news, re introduce an existing technology on biodegradable plastic that might be on the pipeline for consumer; these are good news towards plastic reduction;
but most of us were surprised to find that internally we as well as some animals are filled with micro plastic particle or pollutants or living at an environment filled with plastic particles. In one way, I am not surprise as I pointed out there were studies and researched have shown that certain brand of vitamins, despite their great marketing efforts, their vitamin residues, fillers, partial capsules have been found in human stool samples. Perhaps we might have much more pollutants internally then we though. So, I am glad we had a good discussion and increase the awareness.
I agree-- It is good to have the discussion and increase awareness of the microplastics and internal pollutants we all are subjected to in this lifetime. As we are folks interested in studying ways to help support good physical and mental health to other humans, we may find ways to guide these discussions into the communities we will be supporting in the future. Making a connection to the way we interact with our world, may be reflected to our internal health and overall wellbeing.
