In the April 2023 study in “Nanomaterials”, it was found that mice could pass through the blood-brain barrier after orally ingesting microplastics within just 2 hours. A study published in “Nature - Health” in 2024 by the Capital Medical University and other teams showed that micronanoplastics have widely entered the human brain, with higher concentrations around tumors. Microplastics refer to plastic fragments or particles with a diameter of less than five millimeters, originating from the decomposition of large pieces of plastic and tiny particles in products such as cosmetics and toothpaste. Existing research confirms that microplastics can enter the body through breathing, diet, and skin contact, accumulating in multiple organs and potentially causing intestinal diseases, reduced lung capacity, endocrine disruption, and affecting the health of infants and young children. The article lists 10 common daily items containing microplastics: chewing gum, disposable paper cups, bottled water, nylon tea bags, cleaning sponges, plastic takeout boxes, sun masks, plastic cutting boards, synthetic fiber clothing, and non-stick pans with scratches, and notes that high temperatures can accelerate the release of harmful substances.

It is recommended to reduce the use of plastic packaging, change eating habits (avoid heating plastic containers in the microwave), and choose boiling or other methods for heating food...
