The Plastic Soup Foundation, supported by the Plastic Health Coalition, launched a new website: a dedicated Plastic Health Platform. This is highly needed because plastics are not just an environmental issue, they may be a health hazard to everybody. We eat, we drink, and we breathe plastic. There is increasing evidence that our constant interaction with plastics and their additives has negative consequences for human health. There is strong evidence that various chemicals used in plastics affect, among other functions, human fertility, obesity, and the immune system. Quite alarming indeed.
The goal of the Plastic Soup Foundation’s Health Campaign, as well as that of the Plastic Health Coalition, is to establish a better understanding of this issue. We need to accelerate the accumulation of knowledge on additives, micro- and nanoplastics, and communicate the latest findings about plastics and the health effects. We firmly believe that we have the right to know, and should know, how plastics affect our body. Fighting the plasticplague is not just about saving the oceans anymore — it is about saving ourselves
