Recently, , Nanjing Medical University and Nanjing team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered microplastics with a diameter less than 5 mm in human thrombosis samples for the first time. This research results once again illustrate the harm of plastics to human health, and plastic limits are imminent and imperative.
plastic, since the invention of Swedish Sten Gustaf Thulin in 1959, has been widely used because it is lightweight, strong plasticity, low cost, and can reduce the cutting of trees and protect the environment. After more than 60 years of development, it has long been inseparable from our lives. It can be said that no family in the family now does not have a piece of plastic products or plastic bags.
However, plastic products are also a double-edged sword. While bringing us convenience and reducing tree cuts, it is also endangering our living environment and bringing serious white pollution problems. According to relevant data, many plastic products degrade and decompose in nature for at least a hundred years, or even more than 500 years.
In recent years, many places have set off a "plastic restriction" craze, but judging from the development situation, the thunder is loud and the rain is small. The ban on providing plastic bags in supermarkets is considered to be "plastic restriction". However, although the material bags are only a small category of plastic products, there are also plastic basins , plastic buckets, mineral water bottles, garbage cans, traffic safety bins, etc., all of which are plastic products.
Limited plastic is not just about educating people not to use plastic bags and raising environmental awareness. The key is to control it from the source of production, such as closing some plastic product manufacturers or limited production. At the same time, there is no pollution treatment for plastic products circulating in society. Only by grasping both ends can we solve the problem of white pollution in plastic products. Respond to the national call, protect the environment, start with me!
