Plastics have enormous impacts to every aspect of daily life including technology, medicine and treatments, and domestic appliances. Most of the used plastics are thrown away by consumers after a single use, which has become a huge environmental problem as they will end up in landfill, oceans and other waterways. These plastics are discarded in vast numbers each day, and the breaking down of the plastics from micro- to nano-sizes has led to worries about how toxic these plastics are to the environment and humans. The global increase in plastic production has been a matter of debate and a growing environmental concern the past decades. As a result, microplastic have been discovered in several environmental media and detected in the food chain. Evidence suggests that humans are ingesting microplastic through contaminated food and drink and microplastic has been discovered in human feces albeit in a limited number of individuals. Thus, a proportion number of ingested MP may be absorbed and translocated into the human blood stream. A limited number of studies have identified nanoplastic can interact with platelets and thus increase the risk of thrombosis The new research was funded by the Dutch National Organisation for Health Research and Development and Common Seas, a social enterprise working to reduce plastic pollution. “Plastic production is set to double by 2040,” said Jo Royle, founder of the charity Common Seas. “We have a right to know what all this plastic is doing to our bodies.” Common Seas, along with more than 80 NGOs, scientists and MPs, are asking the UK government to allocate £15m to research on the human health impacts of plastic. The EU is already funding research on the impact of microplastic on foetuses and babies, and on the immune system
