"We don't yet know the health effects." "Maybe even" the tiny bits of plastic themselves tend to stick around. It seems like people tend to misinterpret videos like these and take them for fact. To me they always feel like they're deliberately meant to appeal to the public's fears. Just remember what he said at the end, "More research is needed to determine how they affect our health." No reason to be scared right now.

@Joe Average -- Re: Autism, very unlikely to be related to plastics. The latest studies say that autism is a structural difference in the brain. For instance, autistic brains 'repurpose' areas, so what would in neurotypical brains be assigned to one thing light up in MRI's as something vastly different. Especially notable as a trend in autistic brains is a lack of neutral pruning, and especially an overabundance of neuronal connections in the limbic area (which has been noted both in living and in post-mortem studies) hence why sensory over-load is common. This is also why more autistic people have synesthesia than Genpop. Edit: Just in case it's not clear, I strongly doubt that plastic is responsible for a brain entirely re-structuring itself and not engaging in neural pruning. We (yes we) Autistics, are just a result of the fact that sexual selection results in semi-random combinations, and it seems like a not-uncommon variation in humans is brain structure difference. People who have ADHD have difference in brain structure, so do people with depression, and so do people who experience synesthesia--- actually there's probably a list longer than I can make, but I hope you get the idea. Autistic's aren't alone in this, just one particular variation of many possible ones. Neurodiversity is a thing.

I appreciate the awareness and have heard this somewhere else before. This is a red flag. Yes, more studies would be great, but it seems like something that should already be a concern and I don't know if its wise to keep consuming up to the panic point. Why rely on sensationalism to get your butt in gear and make better consumer choices. I'm going to do my best to use less plastic when practical. It's useful, but maybe being smarter about it is a good idea. Health issues aren't a convenience. You want better health care, take care of your health. Medical bills cost more than the time it takes to change habits.

The real problem with plastics is they are polymers made from monomers through a process in which the monomers (such as vinyl chloride) are put in a bath of sulfuric acid at 100 degrees C and converted into polymers (such as Polyvinyl chloride). The spent acid is dis[posed at sea, killing plankton and other oxygen generating organisms, and contributing to the acidification of the oceans. We shout return to the use of paper, glass, and metals for our many containers as the are the least destructive materials to use.

I did some research last summer looking at microplastics macroinvertebrates in estuarine tidal wetlands. One of the wetlands has a lot of industrial activity nearby, so it wasn't surprising to see a bunch of plastic in the worms and clams there. However, one of the other sites was a small, secluded wetland off of the main river. Every specimen I analyzed contained microplastics, and not just one or two, but HUNDREDS of pieces in just a drop of their pulverized tissue. Plastic is everywhere, and it sickens me just how far our actions have spread down the food chain. :(

plastic pollution is making global warming worse, so probably a combination of the two

We need to go back to glass, wax paper, brown paper, aluminum foil, metal lids. We need to go back to ovens Not microwave ovens.

I work at Ace Hardware and there is a free soda fountain and considering the amount of large plastic chunks I see just fall in there must be tons of tiny bits that people drink

The experiment requires to seriously expand their pool of subjects and determine their conditions of living, their environment, economic status, and geographical situation, city, rural etc... For the results to be validated. Would it be possible to forage under the first layer of earth's crust, say in places where the flux would bring down the plastic we'd want to get rid of.

I’ve started replacing all plastic containers with glass ones. It’s the best bet.

big fan of the channel! id love to see a video on how the current disruption of the arctic circle has effected the wildlife populations of the northern US + Canada. we know that the cold air has had devastating effects on the people that live there (with people quite literally freezing to death) but i want to know how the native wildlife is dealing with it.

Beavis: Wouldn't it be cool if there were pipes for poop going everywhere? Butthead: It's already like that Beavis, how do you think the poo gets out of your house? Beavis: It doesn't! I keep it in little jars in my basement!

We get microplastics also from waterbottles. Most microplastics never leave our body and they damage our cells from the inside.

The pieces of plastic in question may be extremely small, but the fact it's in there at all is mildly disturbing. I'd like to think if plastic is my poop it's no longer in me, but it's likely not that simple.

some yes are likely to pass straight through you with no negative effects, however, there is a possibility that the smallest pieces can pass through the cell wall, there is also the question of the toxins that are on the surfaces of the plastic

Before worrying about the accumulation of plastics in the food chain, shouldn't we dissolve some fish and animals to see if there is plastic in the residue? (Besides the gut content, which most humans do not eat.)

Its not surprising after all we know micro plastics are basically everywhere are found by sampling in the environment really plastics seem to be more and more of an example of something that was too good to be true. Recent studies have found Muscles exposed to micro-plastics struggle to adhere to surfaces potentially making reefs vulnerable to collapse.
