Do you know what the best way to reduce your microplastic intake is?
Study shows boiling water and simply filtering it may remove up to 84% of nano/microplastics!
Farmers and friends with it: temperature, moisture, soil, fertilizer, pest control to make the arid and barren land into a fruit and vegetable wonderland. But you know what? Whether the film covers an area or annual use is very large, but also because of the difficult to degrade, residue, 78% difficult to recycle, per acre of cumulative plastic residue up to 60-300 kg, microplastic concentration in the soil can be as high as 4800mg/kg!
Today's oceans are a far cry from what they were a few decades ago, so what kind of oceans will we bequeath to future generations?
Microplastics are defined as tiny pieces of plastic with a diameter of less than 5 millimeters that come from the decomposition of various plastic products such as plastic bags, plastic take-out containers, plastic bottles, etc. Microplastics can enter the water, soil, and air, and enter the food chain, and ultimately enter the human body and have a negative impact on our health.
Plastic, a man-made material invented only at the beginning of the 20th century, has now become an integral part of our lives. From everyday objects to industrial products, from medical devices to aerospace technology, plastics are used everywhere. Let's explore the close relationship between plastics and our lives.

Microplastics have a large surface area, strong surface hydrophobicity and are prone to adsorption of contaminants, including microorganisms, heavy metals and organic contaminants. Exposure to microplastics can lead to histopathological lesions and dysfunction in a variety of systems (e.g., digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, immune, reproductive and endocrine systems).
