Microplastic Blood Test Kit

Microplastic Contamination

• Microplastic accumulation can lead to chronic conditions.
• About 5 grams of microplastic particles, same weight as a credit card (9 ounces per year), enter our gut every week, unless you drink plastic bottled water when nearly double the amount of microplastics are ingested.
• A 2021 study in the Netherlands showed that plastic particles were discovered in 77% of healthy adult blood donors tested.

List of ways humans can ingest or absorb microplastics:
Ingestion:

• Drinking water: Microplastics have been found in tap water worldwide.
• Seafood: Microplastics are ingested by marine life, which is then consumed by humans.
• Food packaging: Microplastics can leach from packaging materials into food.
• Salt: Microplastics have been found in salt harvested from oceans.
• Honey: Microplastics have been detected in honey samples.
• Fruits and vegetables: Microplastics can be absorbed by plants through soil and water.

Inhalation:

• Air pollution: Microplastics can become airborne and be inhaled.
• Dust: Microplastics can settle on surfaces and become airborne when disturbed.

Skin absorption:

• Cosmetics: Microplastics are used in some cosmetics, such as exfoliating scrubs.
• Clothing: Microplastics can shed from synthetic clothing during washing.
• Personal care products: Microplastics can be present in some personal care products, such as toothpaste.
