People who like seafood are eating thousands of plastic pieces every year?

The study, conducted by the University of Belgium and Ghent University (Belgium), shows that those who do not know themselves are eating thousands of pieces of plastic each year, according to Sputnik.

The study showed an average mussel containing 90 pieces of plastic chips. This means that if you eat 2 servings per week, you are consuming 11,000 per year.

'We piled up thousands of pieces of plastic that a person eats seafood regularly consumes in a year and this result is really shocking. People don't want to eat any piece of plastic, let alone a pile of things like that , 'said Adam Porter, marine scientist from the University of Exeter.

An independent study by a group of scientists from the University of Exeter also found that many plastic fibers were found in most of the hundreds of boys tested. When eating the plastic, the son tried to digest instead of pushing it out as waste and the substance then continued to be consumed by the son-eating seafood, Dr. Tamara Galloway from the University of Exeter.

According to Porter, the biggest concern is that many people often eat whole seafood. ' We do not clean the intestines, which is a place to store plastic pieces. When we eat whole, we are eating whatever seafood has eaten , 'Porter said.

Scientists are still unclear whether the piece of plastic that we eat from seafood passes through the gut and into tissues or should we think that further research is needed before making any relevant conclusions. to the threat of plastic to human health.
