Almost everyone is familiar with the plastic soup and worries about it. A new problem comes with this: MICROPLASTICS. Sources of microplastic are car tires, city dust, and cosmetics. A lesser known, but equally important source is YOUR CLOTHING! We, Nadine van Geersdaele, Anja van der Lee and Pim Rietveld, have done research on the reduction of microplastics that are released during washing of clothes. Three products have emerged from this research: An informative video for the consumer with tips on how to reduce their microplastic emissions, which you are watching now;. An info sheet for designers with tips to optimize the clothing production process, so that fewer microplastics are released;. A knowledge report for Rijkswaterstaat with information on how microplastics from sewage treatment plants or washing machines can be filtered.. The final products can be found in the link below.. http://oneworld-citizens.org/ll-school/. We would love to hear your opinion and appreciate it if you share the products.
Microplastics are everywhere, including in your body. I spent 24 hours doing everything I could to avoid ingesting them. It shouldn’t be this hard..

Unbelievable Animals SAVING Other Animals! ��https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxehUWvMr38.
LARGEST Animals Ever Discovered! ��https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Yj7F_tPYsU.
Wild Animals That SAVED Human Lives! ��https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mllqeVSsIl0. 10. Whale Death. In mid-2018, a pilot whale was discovered clinging to life in a canal in southern Thailand. Rescuers shielded the creature from the sun and used buoys to keep him afloat as he vomited plastic bags. Then, a veterinary team desperately scrambled to save the whale’s life, but their efforts unfortunately failed.. 9. Misshapen Mae West. Two decades ago in New Orleans, Louisiana, someone discovered a snapping turtle in a drainage ditch with a milk jug ring around her midsection, which had caused her body to deform into a “figure-8” shape. They took the turtle into their care, freed her from the milk jug ring, and named her Mae West.. 8. Confused Hermit Crabs. A shocking 2019 study conducted by researchers from the University of Tasmania and the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) found that over a half-million hermit crabs have died from becoming trapped in plastic in the remote Cocos (Keeling Islands) of the Indian Ocean and on Henderson Island in the Pacific.. 7. Fishing Net Entanglement. While it’s usually best to leave wildlife alone, sometimes, they need a helping hand in order to survive. In many cases, netting becomes tangled around seals’ and other animals’ necks, posing a life-threatening risk to the creatures that warrants human intervention.. 6. Slow Suffering. Plastic harms marine life in ways that often involve slow, drawn-out suffering. Take, for example, a porbeagle shark named Destiny, who became tangled in a plastic ring as a baby. She grew to seven feet (2.1 meters) long with the ring stuck around her, cutting into her flesh the entire time.. 5. Clinging To Trash. While leading an expedition in Borneo in 2017, photographer and diver Justin Hofman accompanied a small group who decided to go snorkeling near the town of Sumbawa Besar. Roughly an hour after entering the water, Hofman’s friend, Richard White, spotted a tiny seahorse drifting near the surface amid the changing tide.. 4. Pushing Endangered Species to the Brink. Last year, researchers studied the effects of plastic pollution on manta rays and whale sharks in the waters off Indonesia, the world’s second-largest contributor to ocean plastics. For a little over two years, the team took water samples from an area where these animals commonly feed.. 3. Seabirds Are Eating Plastic. Animals that live underwater are not the only marine species suffering from the ill effects of plastic pollution. Seabirds are particularly hard hit by this problem, as a 2015 study shows. The research, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, revealed that around 90 percent of the world’s marine avian species consume plastic.. 2. Why do Animals Eat Plastic?. After learning how harmful eating plastic is to marine creatures, you may wonder why they do it. After all, don’t they realize that it’s unnatural? Wouldn’t something about plastic perhaps its taste or texture alert an animal to the seemingly obvious fact that it’s not food?. 1. The Dangers Of Microplastic. Microplastics are plastics that break down into very small particles, and while they’re less visible than the heaps of garbage that collect along a shoreline, they’re no less damaging to marine life. In fact, recent research suggests that the abundance of microplastics in the world’s oceans has likely been vastly underestimated for a number of years.
Hello, welcome to NeoScribe.. There are many benefits to plastic.. It’s light, moldable, strong, and inexpensive.. And it’s the perfect material in many cases, such as its uses in sterile medical environments like hospitals.. But I have a problem with microplastics, and you should too.. Microplastics are pieces of plastic that are less than 5 millimeters long and are remnants of larger plastic debris that are broken down by erosion and sunlight into increasingly smaller pieces.. And scientists are starting to discover that they’re invading much more than our oceans and sea life.. A study was done in South Korea, scientists sampled 39 brands of table salt from around the world and found microplastics in 36 of them.. Recent studies into water contamination have found microplastics in 83% of tap water samples from major cities around the world and in 93% of samples from the world’s top 11 bottled water brands.. The most shocking study I came across was done by the University of Plymouth which reveals that a large source of microplastic pollution comes from our laundry.. You see, synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyester are forms of plastic and each time they are washed, they released hundreds of thousands of microfibers into the environment.. Based on these results, researchers estimate that the average adult consumes 32,000 pieces of microplastic per year.. And this takes us to a study done by the Medical University of Vienna, which is where things get a bit gross.. Researchers tested stool samples of participants from around the world including Finland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, and the UK. The study found that EVERY sample tested positive for the presence of microplastic, and up to nine different plastic types were identified.. This discovery is still new, so the health effects of microplastics consumption are unknown at this time.. It appears that microplastics are all around us, and inside us.. But how did we get here? In 1869 John Hyatt invented the first synthetic polymer in search for a substitute for ivory.. By WWII, plastics played a major role in military supply chains and the US government-funded $1billion to private companies to construct synthetics plants in cities across the country to keep up with the demand.. Since then, global plastic production has exploded from 2.3 million tons in 1950 to over 448 million tons today.. Around half of the plastic ever produced has been manufactured in the past 15 years.. And of that 448 tons of plastic, around 40% is produced for disposable use such as product packaging, plastic bags, and water bottles.. And every year, over 8 BILLION kilograms of the plastic end in the world’s ocean.. At that rate, over 4 garbage trucks full of plastic will have made its way to the ocean by the end of this video.. Some of the more durable plastic ends up to 1 of 5 plastic accumulation zones, the largest being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.. The Pacific Garbage Patch is located halfway between California and Hawaii and is estimated to be 1.6 million kilometers which are 3 times the size of France.. There’s an estimated 80,000 tons of plastic floating in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone, which is the equivalent to the weight of 500 jumbo jets.. Once plastic debris makes it to these patches, they remain there until they degrade into smaller microplastics under the effects of sun, waves and marine life.. The plastics will remain in the oceans for hundreds of years until it degrades into smaller and smaller pieces.. So, this a monumental problem, a global problem and it won’t be easy to find a solution.. It will take leadership and commitment from governments and industries.. But the first step is awareness.. There is a lot more information out there on this issue, please don’t stop with this video.. . Because the future is going to be fantastic, and we should ALL be healthy for it.. Alright, that’s all I have for now.. I hope you enjoyed your journey, if you did, please leave a like and subscribe.. I am NeoScribe and I’ll see you on the next journey.
8 million metric tons of plastic are dumped into our oceans every year. Researchers now suggest that microplastics which have infiltrated the worlds oceans and its organisms appear to have infiltrated our insides as well….
A recent study has concluded that people all over the world are probably ingesting microscopic plastic all the time. Now scientists want to know where this plastic is coming from, how it ends up inside of us, and the damage it could do to our bodies and our world.. Hosted by: Stefan Chin.

You Probably Have ‘Microplastics’ in Your Poop: Study TUESDAY, Oct. 23, 2018 There’s a good chance a dose of tiny plastic particles has taken up residence in your gut, a new, small study argues. Microplastics, as they are called, were found in stool samples from a handful of volunteers located across Europe and Asia, researchers report. Two new studies find tiny pieces of plastic, or microplastics, in stool and table salt samples from across the globe. What does this mean for our health?
Two recently published studies underline. Every single person out of the group of 8 had microplastics in their stool, on average about 20 particles for every 3.5 ounces of stool, said study author Dr. Philipp Schwabl, a researcher with the Medical University of Vienna. More than 95 percent of the particles came from plastics used in food packaging and storage. TUESDAY, Oct.

Microplastics have already been found in birds and fish and whales, so it should have come as no surprise that they have now been discovered in humans. “I’d say microplastics in poop are.
List of related literature:
Undigested and unabsorbed foodstuffs, along with the Carbohydrate bile pigments and bilirubin, are eliminated as waste Polypeptides from the body via the large intestine in the form of faeces.
Feces contain undigested material as well as bacteria and metabolic waste, including bilirubin and sloughed epithelial cells that line the lumen of the gut.
Fecal calprotectin, a zinc and calcium binding protein that is derived mostly from neutrophils and monocytes, may be a more sensitive marker of intestinal inflammation in chronic diarrhea.
After your meal has been processed by all of these different parts of your digestive system, what remains is a fibrous clump of fecal matter that is to be excreted upon your next bowel movement.

We eat microscopic sand. Probably swallow small amounts of soap and shampoo too during a shower. Vegetable oils from salads. And what about vegetable fiber, which is mostly polymeric cellulose. It will also be in our poop. Should we care about these too????
I’d say its probably the cheese lol food manufacturers substitute real ingredients and all that for plastic, look up how much plastic is in a slice of cheese or like in Velveeta. It’s nasty.
It is amazing how the human race is so determined to destroy this planet and it’s inhabitants all for the sake of greed combined with an abundance of ignorance and lack of giving a damn.
Here’s another positive on the front https://cleantechnica.com/2018/11/05/aerogel-from-plastic-bottles-offers-superior-fire-protection-carbon-dioxide-absorption/
I heard the one invented plastic got Nobel Price. Maybe you should consider that’s a shame to the science community. But Nobel price started by Nobel, so that’s not contradictory after all.
I would prefer to return to using glass and make recycling mandatory for all manufacturers using glass & plastic and have some way of recycling capabilities/collections available in every community/town/city!!!!!!!!!!
What MSM and science fail to recognize and/or admit is that much of the plastic in and waste in the oceans is there due to natural disasters, not so much from people just not caring
Its unfortunate how badly the scripts are written, and how awful the videos are edited, the only thing that makes these videos slightly less confusing is the narrator
Ironically, the best place for those plastics to be “banished” permanently is the bottom of the sea… -> More specifically the subduction zones that will eventually send them into the mantle (to be decomposed by heat as simple carbon & hydrogen molecules like methane).
This is so hard to watch. �� what have we done! I can’t believe that all those companies that have made plastic don’t care where it ends and that is going to kill us. I look all around me and plastic is everywhere. I’m trying my best to change my lifestyle but it seems almost impossible. I’m not quitting!
Lol last video I saw they were talking about how microplastic is bad but now we know it just goes strait through microplastic is nothing to worry about
there are some papers who suggest that microplastic changes the sinkrate of copepod feces. Since copepods feces play a huge roll in the marin nutrition circle, microplastic could change the ecosystem structure in the deeper levels of the ocean. I forgot who the author was but i guess you can find it pretty easily on ISI.
Before worrying about the accumulation of plastics in the food chain, shouldn’t we dissolve some fish and animals to see if there is plastic in the residue? (Besides the gut content, which most humans do not eat.)
Mankind orchestrates its own Downfall by its arrogant “inventions”, which do not stem from the Divine Light. Plastic will destroy our bodies in the end, unless we stop producing these meterials…
I work at Ace Hardware and there is a free soda fountain and considering the amount of large plastic chunks I see just fall in there must be tons of tiny bits that people drink
Maybe the people of the world should come to the conclusion to allow plastics only where they are absolutely necessary. Like in medical care…and have them largely banned from private households
The specific type of plastic is the important issue along with any chemicals used within the plastic during production. Pure cellophane or polyethylene would be fine for instance since cellophane is just plant fiber and polyethylene is just a saturated carbon chain (both of these plastics can also be burned safely if there are no additives).
Stop making plastic junk. My mom hated plastic. No plastic toys. But I need the 100 piece grocery set. I suffered. She said they were dirty. Half the plastic has been made in last 15 years. USA is the biggest piggie per capital.
its not a mystery, you litterally just said it, the reason why whales are eating plastic is, big suprise because you ALREADY SAID IT GRRR, is that the krill is within the algea in the PLASTIC!!!, WHALES EAT KRILL, DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, where theres krill theres whales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you stoned??????
Without information about concentration and some sort of LD50 evaluation or thresholds for health effects, this un-reviewed, un-published research amounts to nothing useful (other than potential grant money).
The sample was way too small that too from a specific location. Though it’s true that we could consume plastic through our food, we need a better research to establish it.
A study from eight people? On the verge of laying off %15. Fake news garbage. Why not talk about the hormones from soy products. This is a much larger issue. Or what about DuPont and 3m altering our DNA. You’re sick Snowflake’s
Glass is the best. It’s non-toxic, it can be crushed into small pieces anywhere to dispose of it, not harmful to the environment, and you can melt it down to make new bottles. Plastic floats on water, gives off harmful fumes when burned, and the list goes on.
Just visiting USA from Denmark and I am shocked by the amount of plastic used here some examples apples individually wrapped in plastic, coffee served in styreen mugs,when buying 1 item at the shop they pack it in a plastic bag.. Strange manners 2019,,
At the end he said the future is going to be fantastic, BS it looks like the future is getting worse just go back to the point he said it went from 2.3 million to 448 million…
awaiting vid #2! hahaha. Loved when you were finally able to get your coffee! That’s my go to brotha! Informative info on our consumption and over use of plastic. far reaching…what it’s doing to our earth and all life forms. what does it mean for the future…
Why is the turtle head photoshoped? If its a snapping turtle leave the photo alone! Somebody put a tortoise head on a snapper’s body! Many people are confused enougth!
Your statement about distilled water not providing minerals is so wrong. If that is true you would need to drink 2-10 gallons of tap water a day to get the needed minerals because those minerals are not bioavailable. You get minerals from the food you eat.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16
microplastics absorb toxins? if it was controlled would they be a viable way to soak up oil tanker spills and the such? like using a tea bag so it doesnt add to the toxins. That way its potentially reusable and recyclable
i appreciate the connection with plastic fiber clothing (synthetics) and water pollution. There have also been several studies that raise concern about health and wearing and living with plastics in our apparel and home goods. The studies found participants absorbed many chemicals through the skin. some of the common chemicals can be found OEKO-TEX 100 website
“The future is going to be fantastic and we should all be healthy for that”Words of a young naive boy. oboy is life gonna disapoint u son lolchill abit With the optimism and overly happines, and maybe u wont need a psychic later in life. JS
You didn’t have to show the poop. You made your point. But seriously, I’m sharing this video with everyone I know. It would have been nice if you showed the health risks from micro plastics. Thanks for the video.
Can’t help but wonder if some of the microplastics in our seafood result from our poop getting in the ocean.
Won’t keep me from eating shrimp, but…

hey SciShow, could any of the microplastics be from toothbrushes? I assume they’re made of plastic and we just rub them around in our mouth every day.

so you’re saying that replacing replacing all animal based products with plastic ISN’T a good environmental choice? astonishing /sarcasm

Is water in plastic bottles worse than water in glass bottles? Or is there some kind of regulation forbidding harmful plastics as foodgrade?
