Advice for Food Companies Since we launched PlasticList, we’ve been heartened to have quite a few food companies reach out and ask for help interpreting their results and tracking down and eliminating their contamination. I’ve had calls with a bunch of these. I am happy to

🚨 A new study finds an alarming number of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNP) in the human brain. "MNP levels were about three to five times higher in 12 brains from people who had been diagnosed with dementia." nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

Microplastics have been found just about everywhere scientists have looked. Now scientists are trying to determine their effects on your health go.nature.com/4hQm2AC

Microplastics are POISONING us—slowly, silently, and PERMANENTLY. There are TRILLIONS of microplastics everywhere and they’re the highest they’ve ever been in our bodies—brain, liver, lungs, everywhere. But don't panic—there are solutions: 🧵

🚨🧠 The average brain sampled in 2024 contained a whopping 7 grams of microplastics -- the equivalent of a plastic spoon. Higher concentrations were noted in those with dementia. 🥄😱 Read more: salon.com/2025/02/07/stu… #Microplastics #ToxicPlastics #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Time to start filtering…

Don’t think it’s going to be good..

Agreed 🤝 time to act

Time to start rolling out the solutions 🚀

Eliminating microplastics entirely is not realistic—they’re everywhere. Reducing exposure, though? Totally within reach with some evidence-backed strategies. Think of it as imperfect avoidance. My top tips are: Try filtering tap water with a reverse osmosis system—studies show

Scary sight

Time to make a change.

Great collaboration! Excited to see CLEANR for Washing Machines validated to remove 90%+ of microplastics emitted from washing machine wastewater down to 50-microns in size.

This is the kind of research we need to better understand microplastic and nanoplastic breakdown rates

We've all heard about microplastics. But few know about its more toxic derivative: Nanoplastics. Scientists say they can reach human blood, cells, and even unborn babies. Here are 7 ways to protect yourself (bookmark this): 🧵
