Sobre este e-book
""Microplastics Within Us"" delivers a compelling investigation into one of today's most pressing environmental health concerns: the pervasive presence of plastic particles in human bodies. Opening with the startling fact that we consume approximately five grams of plastic weeklyâequivalent to a credit cardâthe book methodically explores how these microscopic particles smaller than 5 millimeters have become unwanted residents in our biological systems.
Through a well-structured examination, the book traces the journey of microplastics from their industrial and consumer sources into human bodies, supported by recent biomonitoring studies that have detected these particles in human blood, placenta, and organs. The investigation spans three crucial areas: contamination pathways, including food, water, and air; diverse sources ranging from synthetic textiles to cosmetics; and potential health implications.
Drawing from World Health Organization research and environmental protection agency data, it presents a comprehensive picture of how these persistent pollutants interact with human biological systems. The book stands out for its balanced, multidisciplinary approach, combining insights from toxicologists, environmental scientists, and medical researchers. While maintaining scientific rigor, it remains accessible to general readers, offering practical guidance for reducing personal exposure alongside broader policy considerations.
The work effectively bridges the gap between environmental science and public health, presenting both established findings and areas requiring further research, while emphasizing the urgency of addressing this global challenge through individual and collective action.
