The missing science: Could our addiction to plastic be poisoning us?
Erik Solheim, Head of UN Environment
The fact is that while we are acutely aware of the alarming rising tide of plastic waste, there is not a great deal known about the long-term health impacts of this pollution crisis. What we do know is that our addiction to convenience has placed it everywhere: leaching into food from kitchens, restaurants and supermarkets; floating in microscopic particles in our drinking water; drifting in the oceans and choking wildlife and ecosystems. The ubiquity of plastics, and the increasing evidence that we are ingesting, many of them in microplastic form, demands a closer examination of the health implications.
