We're Full of Plastic: What Science Is Revealing About Microplastics in Our Blood, Brains, and Bodies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798288343988)

Are you full of plastic? The answer may shock you.

Every day, invisible particles of plastic make their way into your food, your air, your water-and now, your bloodstream, brain, and even your unborn children. We're Full of Plastic is a deep dive into one of the most urgent and overlooked environmental and health crises of our time: the invasion of microplastics into the human body. According to a landmark study, the average person may ingest up to 5 grams of plastic each week - roughly the size of a credit card.

Drawing on cutting-edge scientific studies, this eye-opening book reveals how plastic pollution is no longer just a problem for oceans and landfills-it's a problem inside us. From the placenta to the brain, scientists are discovering plastic particles in the most intimate parts of our biology, raising serious questions about long-term health effects we're only beginning to understand.

You'll learn:

• How microplastics enter your body through everyday products and habits

• What current science says about the potential health risks

• Why babies may be the most vulnerable

• How industry and regulation have failed to keep up

• What you can do right now to reduce your exposure

Whether you're a concerned parent, health-conscious consumer, or curious reader, We're Full of Plastic delivers a powerful message: the plastic age has gone too far-and it's time we woke up.
