WHAT ARE THE INVISIBLE NANOPLASTICS THAT PROTECT?

Turkish Specialist, states that infants and children are more exposed to microplastics and nanoplastics. Dr. It is not surprising that plastic is found in the faces of babies. Because in all materials such as baby bottles, clothes, toys, plates, diapers, that is, everything around babies is made of plastic. On the other hand, microplastics have been detected in drinking water, mussels, shrimps, fish, salt, sugar, honey, as well as in foods such as scientific research, he said.

Child Health Specialist in Ankara hospital warned families, noting that babies and children are more often exposed to microplastics and nanoplastics. Specialist Turkish doctor, “microplastics smaller than 5 mm and causing pollution in the environment, mostly oil-derived and insoluble in water particles are called Primary microplastics are plastics directly produced less than 5 mm. For example, microbeads are used in cosmetics, personal care products. Especially today, excessive use of sims in makeup, handicrafts and textile materials can be given as an example of primary microplastics. Secondary microplastics are formed when large plastics break down over time and crumble to sizes less than 5 mm. Examples of secondary microplastics are particles that break off and wear out of plastic products used for infants and children, fibers that break off from synthetic textiles, vehicle tire debris, and various plastic particles, he said.

NANOPLASTIC IN SACHET TEAS CAN ENTER THE BODY WITH DRUNK TEA

Nanoplastics are plastic particles between 1 nm and 1 m in size, according to Turkish specialist, continued as follows:

Because nanoplastics are very small in size, they can pass through the cell wall and be absorbed through our intestines. Nanoplastics can pass from food materials that are often used in everyday life to the human body. A study on this topic showed that billions of nanoplastics pass from nylon and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sachet material in tea bags to tea drunk with each brew. In some products, microplastic pollution and many other additives pass through the food due to the packaging used in the packaging and during the consumption of the product (from the environment), in others from the source from which it is obtained, and in others because of the packaging used in the packaging. As a result of scientific research, microplastics were detected in drinking water (bottled water, fountain waters), in foods such as mussels, shrimps, fish, salt, sugar, honey. Microplastics in Turkey can also infect Turkish foods that are called street delicacies, both from the source of the food, and from the stages of its production and consumption.

MOST OF THE BABY’S THINGS ARE MADE OF PLASTIC

Turkey Medicals Specialist stated that infants and children encounter microplastics and nanoplastics more often, and warned that:

It is not surprising that plastic is found in the feces of babies. Because in all materials such as baby bottles, clothes, toys, plates, diapers, that is, everything around babies is made of plastic. In babies who touch them, they often take their hands to their mouths, even bite these items and are exposed to microplastics that are invisible to the detached eye. For this reason, when buying this type of product, we should prefer TSE-certified products that are inspected and should not use deformed obsolete products.
