塑料垃圾泛滥,已经给环境带来灾难,也威胁着人们的健康。
塑料很难降解,会以微塑料的形式长时间存在于食物链中,最终通过饮水和食物进入到我们的身体里。
微塑料,是指很小的塑料颗粒以及纺织纤维。
有调查发现,商店里出售的包装食盐中,超过90%含有微塑料。
研究人员对21个国家和地区的39个品牌的食盐进行了抽样检查,只有3个样品没有可检测到的微塑料。
研究人员根据研究结果估计,普通成年人每年通过食盐吃进约2000粒微塑料。
不过,这仍然只占一个人可能摄入的微塑料量的很小一部分。
此前研究显示,人们会通过自来水、软体动物、空气和食盐这4种途径摄入3.2万粒微塑料。
人们摄入的微塑料中有大约80%是从空气吸入的,从食盐中摄入的微塑料只占到全部摄入量的大约6%。
