Comment on What is acceptable amount of microplastics you would allow into your brain?
DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 10 months agoYou do need data to see the long term negative effects. People won’t regulate it and remove it if its not having a negative effect. So we need that data to make an informed move on what to do next.

So the question is how much will we allow before we take action

Either the studies will tell us how much, or until we feel the negative effects from the dosage of plastics.

We don’t know how clear it will be before there are negative effects. I could be alarming amounts.

If there are negative reports reportedly caused from microplastics there will be resources looking into the subject matter. Studies that look at the long term effects will take time, but there might be some shorter length studies comparing different plastics and their effects at poisonous dosages. I know that companies claim that their products are “BPA Free” maybe that’s a good starting point for your research. (I don’t know the reason why everything is BPA free, but it must’ve been big enough to leave a digital footprint.)
