Scientists solved the mystery of missing ocean plastic—and the answer is alarming Scientists have discovered that the ocean’s “missing” plastic hasn’t vanished—it has broken down into trillions of invisible nanoplastics now spread through water, air, and living organisms. These tin...

"about 27 million tons of #nanoplastics are floating in [the North Atlantic] alone."

"Scientists have struggled to account for all the plastic ever produced ... This study suggests a large share has broken down into tiny particles suspended throughout the ocean"

So Robert F. Kennedy Jr has decided to investigate microplastics and research ways to remove them from the human body.

The human body. Not, apparently, the environment.

Removing microplastics and nanoplastics from the human body but NOT from the environment would be like removing a cup of […]

Plastic never disappears; it fragments into tiny microplastics and eventually into trillions of invisible nanoplastics. The smaller the plastic, the more easily it spreads through water, air, and living tissue. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #OceanPlastic #Microplastics #Nanoplastics

Graphical abstract illustrating the proposed mechanism by which prenatal OLA exposure disrupts placental vascular development, leading to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in mice. Specifically, OLA released from orally ingested polylactic acid plastics during pregnancy interferes with GATA2-regulated VEGF signaling, thereby impairing placental vascular development. The mechanistic scheme was created using Figdraw.
