Concerning: glass bottles with painted screwcaps may create more #microplastic contamination in #drinks than equivalent plastic bottles.

Überlegt mal: das landet am Ende auch als Mikroplastik in der Umwelt.

Drinks including #water, #soda, #beer #wine sold in #glass #bottles contain more #microplastics than those in #plastic bottles, according to surprising study released by #France #foodsafety agency Friday. The researchers found an average of around 100 #microplastic #particles per liter in #glass bottles of soft drinks, #lemonade, #icedtea and beer. That was five to 50 times higher than the rate detected in plastic bottles or #metal #cans. https://phys.org/news/2025-06-glass-bottles-microplastics-plastic.html #publichealth

@Microplastics101

Dazu interessierte mich eine Frage zur jetzt erforderlichen Forschung zu Auswirkungen ( #MicroPlastic ).
FeloAI gefragt: Haben Wissenschaftler die Verantwortung ihre wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse ausreichend auf Schadwirkungen zu prüfen und deren Anwendung zu sperren?
Antwort zeigt mindestens zu Teil Eins klar JA.
Interessant die weitergehenden Fragestellungen.
Präzisierung durchaus möglich.

🎉 Yay, our new #microplastic extraction lab at @awi #Bremerhaven is up & running & will relieve our facilities on Heligoland! In our new #Plastic Burden project, our #PhD student Felix Tulatz 👨‍🔬 will assess microplastics & associated chemicals 🧪 in sediments and fauna 🦐 from the #Arctic #DeepSea.

#Stockholm is a great city. A bit of surprise was to find a #ShittyLawn in the middle of the #Kungsträdgården "KingsPark"! #microplastic #fakegrass #OhShit

All* created plastic pollutes from day one. Use generates microplastics, waste generates microplastics, recycling rarely works(& when it does, it generates microplastics). Microplastics embed themselves in everything & absorb chemical pollutants, redistributing chemicals caustic and benign into our food, water, livestock, and bloodstream.

*All plastic tested thus far.

#Microplastic #pollution is everywhere, even in the exhaled breath of #dolphins – new research

@paulstewartii.bsky.social

I'm pretty sure concerns were raised about the effect of #plastics and #pseudoestrogens in the environment being a likely source of reduced male fertility in consumer-culture nations ~30-some years' back.

Alas, no surprise additional complications are now showing up with #microplastic contamination. 😢

`High concentrations of microplastics are found within ultra-processed foods, largely due to both the processing and packing process For example, foods like chicken nuggets contain 30 times more microplastics per gram than chicken breasts—highlighting the impact of industrial processing on the content of the food `

@usluck boil hard water for 10 min, and leave it to cool, the #microplastic will be trapped in limescale. https://www.sciencealert.com/theres-a-surprisingly-simple-way-to-remove-microplastics-from-drinking-water

@adrinux That's one step on the path, and difficult: how to forbid children playing with glitter!

But what we need are laws against microplastics in cosmetics + glitter. Some countries already have such laws (which shows that the companies *can* produce free of micro plastics.)

For the glitter: the #EU banned #microplastic #glitter in 2023, by 2027 #microplastics in #cosmetics. Under pressure, the companies develop alternatives: https://archive.ph/DSgbF

@JamesBont 👍 Bin da schon seit ca . zwei Jahren unterwegs, seitdem und so lange ich es mir leisten kann und so lange es noch geht. Skandinavien, Schottland... "in" die Natur, möglichst ohne dort selbst Spuren zu hinterlassen. Natur mit möglichst wenig Menschen.
Allerdings sollte trotzdem nicht vergessen werden das es mittlerweile keinen Platz mehr auf der Erde gibt der nicht schon menschliche ...Spuren zeigt. #Microplastic #Muell #Klimawandel
Und das wir weiter alles zerstören was schön ist.😢

“Microplastics found in human ovary follicular fluid for the first time. Peer-reviewed study’s findings raises fresh question on the toxic substances’ impact on fertility.” Farewell humanity. I don’t suppose you will be missed. #MicroPlastic #Fertility
