The World Health 168SLOTXO Organization, or WHO (World Health Organization), has released the first report on the health effects of small plastic masses. Or micro plastic They can be found in rivers, lakes, sewage sources, or even human drinking water.
The research results were found that If humans drink water that contains small amounts of plastic The harm to health will be low.
Bruce Gordon, WHO's Water, Sanitation and Health coordinator, said that when the body gets microplastics into the digestive system, Most of those plastic masses are not absorbed by the human body.
He said the tiny plastic mass in the water from the drinking bottle. Will be found slightly more in water And some found in bottled water came from the lid. And from the bottle manufacturing process
This study states that If the wastewater treatment process is performed correctly and efficiently It will significantly reduce the amount of microplastics.
Jennifer de France, an expert involved in the research, said that many people in the world do not have access to a sufficiently good quality wastewater treatment facility. Have a good wastewater treatment system And if able to reduce the amount of small matter Will contribute to reducing small pathogens that are harmful to health as well
The World Health Organization said. More studies should be conducted on the effects of microplastics on humans and the environment.
WHO recommends according to the current information that Micro-bacteria and chemicals that pose a risk to human health should be eliminated or reduced. Such as pathogens that cause diarrhea
