Recent studies have shown that plastic nanoparticles, very small particles of plastic, pose serious risks to human health. These particles can increase the resistance of bacteria to drugs by disrupting the absorption of antibiotics.
According to the scientific news department of Tekna Technology Media, researchers have discovered that plastic nanoparticles can stick to antibiotics and prevent them from being absorbed by the body. This is especially the case with the antibiotic tetracycline, which is used to treat many infections.
Plastic nanoparticles easily enter our body through air, water and food. These particles are so small that they can pass through the blood-brain barrier and damage the brain. Also, the accumulation of these particles in the body can cause various health problems.
Plastic pollution has become one of the biggest environmental challenges. Considering the serious dangers of plastic nanoparticles for human health, it is necessary to take serious measures to reduce the production and consumption of plastic. New findings show that plastic nanoparticles are a serious threat to human health. To deal with this threat, we must look for ways to reduce the production and consumption of plastic and also find effective ways to clean the environment from this pollution.
