Podcasts about nanoplastics

Join us as we zoom into the "nano world" with Kelso Arthur, a third-year PhD student in Environmental and Molecular Toxicology at Oregon State University. In this episode we discuss nano and microplastic use in agricultural pesticides, what impacts they could have on environmental health, and how indicator species can help us assess their effects. Kelso shares their journey on how their roots in Kentucky helped pave their pathway into graduate school. Hosted by Matthew Vaughan and Esteban 'E' Hernandez. 

Microplastics seem to be everywhere, inside and outside our bodies. These micro and nano particles are shedding from our clothes, our tires, food packaging — basically anywhere there's plastic. People, animals, and plants are consuming these microplastics, thereby complicating the issue and contributing to health problems. But what health issues? And how do we avoid them? The science is still a work in progress, but today, we're finding out what we know so far. We're going to find out from an actual scientist what we know and don't know about the health implications of microplastics and what we can do about it. And we're going to try our best to find our way to a place of understanding without complete overwhelm. 

In this episode I sit down with Andrew Flynn, a Jiu Jitsu black belt, Tai Chi Chuan advocate and accidental fightwear company owner. Andrew is one of the guys behind alchemical fightwear (https://www.alchemical.com.au/) a healthy living company that also sells natural, plastic free option for martial arts / grappling apparel. It was a fun conversation as we also went deep on Andrew's journey, from project management to Tai Chi Chuan, to Jiu Jitsu, cafe's and more. Traditional martial arts often get a bad rap in modern martial arts discussions and it was nice for Andrew to articulate his experience with it. We also go through his experience in building up a business to selling it, engineering / project management and of course the reasons why Alchemical focuses on Hemp / natural fibred fight wear.

Microplastics are ubiquitous in the environment, exposing all of us through the water we drink, the food we eat, and even the air that we breathe. There is increasing evidence that microplastic exposure increases the risk of certain cancers, lung problems, and our endocrine function. These effects are even more concerning for growing children. What can we do about microplastics, and how can we protect our children? We are joined by Dr. Elizabeth Moore in this episode to discuss practical steps that parents can take to decrease our children’s microplastic exposure. This episode written by Drs.

Today we unpack new findings that show micronanoplastics play a significant role in stroke, how to tell the difference between emotional and physical hunger, and what to do if you're struggling to digest protein and animal products. We also dive into the controversy around cold vs hot therapies for women. We bring the heat (pun intended). Timestamps:[1:24] Welcome[11:30] Nanoplastics conversation[26:54] How can women tell the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger without over analyzing? [41:06] I've been vegan/vegetarian most of my life tried to incorporate eggs and they wrecked havoc on my stomach I started taking b12 shots recently to fill a nutritional gap, and it gave me the worst cystic acne with just two doses.

The Senate has yet to confirm a Health and Human Services secretary, but things around the department continue to change at a breakneck pace to comply with President Donald Trump's executive orders. Payment systems have been shut down, webpages and entire datasets have been taken offline, and workers — including those with civil service protections — have been urged to quit or threatened with layoffs. Meanwhile, foreign and trade policy changes are also affecting health policy. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico and Lauren Weber of The Washington Post join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF Health News' Julie Appleby, who reported the latest “Bill of the Month” feature, about a young woman, a grandfathered health plan, and a $14,000 IUD. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The New York Times' “How R.F.K. Jr. and ‘Medical Freedom' Rose to Power,” on “The Daily” podcast. Lauren Weber: CNN's “Human Brain Samples Contain an Entire Spoon's Worth of Nanoplastics, Study Says,” by Sandee LaMotte. Alice Miranda Ollstein: The Washington Post's “Did RFK Jr. or Michelle Obama Say It About Food? Take Our Quiz,” by Lauren Weber. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1. “Bioaccumulation of Microplastics in Decedent Human Brains” (Nature Medicine, 2024)   This study confirms the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) in human brain tissue, particularly the frontal cortex. Researchers used pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and electron microscopy to analyze postmortem samples, finding polyethylene (PE) as the dominant plastic type. Brain tissue exhibited significantly higher plastic concentrations than the liver or kidney, with even greater MNP accumulation in individuals diagnosed with dementia. The findings raise concerns about potential neuroinflammation and long-term neurological effects, though causality remains unproven.   2. “Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Atheromas and Cardiovascular Events” (New England Journal of Medicine, 2024)   This study investigates the presence of microplastics in atherosclerotic plaques and their potential role in cardiovascular disease. Analyzing carotid artery plaques from patients undergoing endarterectomy, researchers found polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in 58.4% of plaques. Patients with MNP-containing plaques had a 4.53 times higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death over a three-year follow-up. The study also linked MNP presence to elevated inflammatory markers (IL-18, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6), suggesting that microplastics might exacerbate cardiovascular disease progression.

In this episode, I explain what microplastics are, their prevalence in the human body and environment, and their common sources, as well as their potential negative health impacts. I provide practical strategies for limiting exposure to microplastics, nanoplastics, and endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol-A (BPA), bisphenol-S (BPS), phthalates, and PFAS ("forever chemicals"). Additionally, I discuss methods to enhance the body's detoxification and excretion of microplastics. By the end of this episode, you will have a clear understanding of the modern science of microplastics and their impact on human biology, along with actionable steps to minimize exposure and accumulation in the brain and body.

Plastic pollution is a growing problem for people and for the environment in multiple ways.  When plastics break down over time, they can form small particles called microplastics – bits smaller than sesame seeds – and these, in turn, can break down into even smaller pieces called nanoplastics.  They are too small to be seen […]

Microplastics are infiltrating brain tissue, studies show: 'There's nowhere left untouched' ", a new report from The Guardian. "Microplastics Invade Human Brains, Researchers Call For Global Emergency" and "The global use of plastic has led to severe environmental contamination, with microplastics now found in air, water, soil, food, and human organs" (from NDTV). "Nanoplastics ‘hijack' their way into the brain" and "plastics with ties to cancer", both quotes are from CNN. Is microplastic (a.k.a polymer) an element named in climate engineering patents? The short answer is yes.

Brace yourself for a paradigm shift that will obliterate everything you thought you knew about the hidden forces sabotaging your health and vitality. In this unfiltered dialogue, world-renowned expert Dr. Tom O'Bryan doesn't mince words as he pulls back the curtain on a harsh reality – the deeply ingrained myths that have left countless men stranded in a wasteland of unfulfilling lives, hollow connections, and plummeting testosterone levels are nothing more than pernicious fallacies perpetuated by a toxic modern world. With raw authenticity and a surgical precision that will leave you questioning everything, Dr. O'Bryan exposes the jarring truth: the root cause of your ailments isn't laziness or lack of discipline. Instead, it stems from a profound, hardwired compulsion etched into the very fabric of our neurobiology – a compulsion forged in the crucible of a toxic environment bombarding us with chemicals and inflammatory triggers from the moment we enter this world. Through captivating personal anecdotes and cutting-edge science, you'll bear witness as he dismantles the toxic dogma fueling our self-flagellation, revealing how seemingly innocuous childhood rituals can lay the foundation for a lifetime of emotional eating, addiction, and compulsive behaviors sabotaging your efforts to reclaim your vitality. Here's a glimpse of the revelatory insights you'll uncover: The pivotal role of delta brainwaves in dismantling the hardwired compulsions that sabotage weight loss efforts, allowing you to regain control over cravings and hunger signals Practical, counterintuitive strategies to depotentiate these deeply entrenched neural pathways, freeing you from the shackles of compulsive overeating and addiction The startling reason why conventional weight loss methods like diets, exercise, and surgery inevitably fail for 97% of people – and how to break free from this vicious cycle once and for all Whether you've grappled with weight fluctuations, brain fog, and plummeting testosterone for years or seek a fresh, empowering perspective, this conversation is a wake-up call to embrace true vitality – one rooted in self-compassion, neuroscientific insight, and the unwavering belief that you possess the power to reclaim your sovereignty as a man. The path to sustainable freedom begins here – tune in and let the revolution commence.

In this episode, we explore the science behind microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), focusing on their effects on the liver and gut microbiome. We'll examine how these particles can disrupt cellular functions in hepatocytes, leading to oxidative stress and inflammation, and we will also discuss recent research findings related to MP exposure and gut dysbiosis. We will finish by addressing several strategies to reduce exposure. Topics: 1. Introduction - Introduction to microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) - Overview of their impact on the body, focusing on the liver and gut microbiome 2. Understanding Microplastics and Nanoplastics - Definition and differentiation of MPs and NPs - MPs: Plastic particles less than 5 millimeters (mm) in length - NPs: Subset of MPs, less than 1 micrometer (µm) in size - Sources of MPs and NPs - Primary MPs: Intentionally manufactured small particles (e.g., microbeads, nurdles, microfibers) - Secondary MPs: Degradation of larger plastic objects (e.g., cutting boards) 3. Chemical Composition of Microplastics - Overview of common polymers found in MPs - Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polystyrene (PS), Polyurethane (PU), Nylon, Acrylic - Examples of products containing these polymers (e.g., bottled water, cutting boards, clothing) 4. Health Implications: Impact on Liver Cells - Cellular impact of MPs and NPs - Intracellular and extracellular presence - Specific polymers studied: PET, PE, PP - Mechanisms of cellular disruption - Disruption of mitochondrial membranes - Loss of membrane potential - Decreased ATP production and energy deprivation - Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress - Activation of Kupffer cells and chronic inflammation - Concern for fatty liver disease and insulin resistance 5. Health Implications: Impact on Gut Microbiome - Overview of gut dysbiosis caused by MPs - Physical interaction with gut microorganisms - Chemical effects and associated additives - MPs as carriers for other pollutants or pathogens - Consequences of dysbiosis beyond the gut 6. Practical Tips to Reduce Exposure to MPs and NPs - Use reusable shopping bags - Use a water filter - Avoid single-use plastic products - Choose glass or stainless steel containers - Buy products with minimal plastic packaging - Opt for natural fiber clothing - Use biodegradable or eco-friendly cleaning products - Avoid personal care products with microbeads - Replace plastic kitchen utensils with wooden or metal alternatives - Choose bar soap instead of liquid soap - Avoid plastic cutting boards; opt for wood - Use alternatives to plastic wrap (e.g., beeswax wraps) Thank you to our episode sponsors: ⁠Hardy Nutritionals⁠ ⁠Hardy Nutritionals' Daily Essential Nutrients ⁠Liver Medic⁠⁠ Use code Chloe20 to save 20% on ⁠⁠⁠"Leaky Gut Repair"⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Brendan's YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/livermedic⁠⁠⁠ Thanks for tuning in!

What does the term "microplastics" mean to you? Why is seemingly everyone talking about them lately?  A new study published on March 6th in the New England Journal of Medicine titled, “Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Atheromas and Cardiovascular Events" has been circulating around the internet, and raises concerns about the risk of exposure to microplastics and long-term adverse health outcomes. What does this study suggest? What does the other data about microplastics show? Our exposure to plastics is ubiquitous; its in our packaging, our clothing, in our air and water. The chemical additives used in plastics manufacturing are also worrisome, as they have demonstrated adverse health effects in animal models. As we have hammered home in many prior episodes, DOSE and EXPOSURE matter when it comes to risk of harm from a particular substance. The same rules seem to apply for microplastics. In today's episode, Jeremy explains what we do and don't know about the risks of long term exposure to microplastics. He ends with some actionable items on how you can choose to limit your exposure with some simple daily behavioral changes. Resources for this episode include: The very recent NEJM article titled "Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Atheromas and Cardiovascular Events". A 2022 Frontiers in Endocrinology study regarding endocrine changes in mammals related to exposure to micro/nano plastics. A May 2023 article from National Geographic titled "Microplastics are in our bodies. How much do they harm us?" A March 19th, 2024 Everyday Health article on microplastics.

Literature Review 1) Psilocybin is showing further signs of great promise in the fight against depression and PTSD. Psychedelic assisted psychotherapy has gained a foothold in the mainstream of treatment interventions for treatment resistant depression and PTSD. Psilocybin comes from a mushroom that has serotonergic effects on the receptor 5HT2A in the human brain. The results of the studies were net positives in reducing major mood disorder symptoms that are known to be long term in effect. (Haikazian et. al. 2023) I am very excited to see this therapeutic space expand into traumatized teens and other subsets to see outcome benefits. 2) Nanoplastics in the research in the Journal PNAS.....

In a trailblazing new study, researchers have discovered bottled water sold in stores can contain 10 to 100 times more bits of plastic than previously estimated — nanoparticles so infinitesimally tiny they cannot be seen under a microscope.在一项开拓性新研究中，研究人员发现，商店售卖的瓶装水所含的塑料颗粒物比原先预计的多出10到100倍，有些纳米塑料小到用显微镜也看不见。At 1,000th the average width of a human hair, nanoplastics are so teeny they can migrate through the tissues of the digestive tract or lungs into the bloodstream, distributing potentially harmful synthetic chemicals throughout the body and into cells, experts say.专家指出，这种纳米塑料的体积是人类头发平均直径的千分之一，可以通过消化道或肺部进入血管，导致可能有害的人工合成化学物质散布周身并进入细胞。One liter of water — the equivalent of two standard-size bottled waters — contained an average of 240,000 plastic particles from seven types of plastics, of which 90% were identified as nanoplastics and the rest were microplastics, according to the new study.新研究发现，每升瓶装水（相当于两瓶标准瓶装水）平均含有24万个塑料颗粒物，这些颗粒物来自7种不同塑料物质，90%的塑料颗粒物被认定为纳米塑料，其他是塑料微粒。Microplastics are polymer fragments that can range from less than 0.2 inch (5 millimeters) down to 1/25,000th of an inch (1 micrometer). Anything smaller is a nanoplastic that must be measured in billionths of a meter.塑料微粒是直径小于5毫米的微小聚合物，最小的塑料微粒直径是2.5万分之一英寸（1微米）。比最小的塑料微粒还小的则是用十亿分之一米来测量的纳米塑料。In the new study, published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from Columbia University presented a new technology that can see, count and analyze the chemical structure of nanoparticles in bottled water.这项本周一（1月8日）发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》的新研究指出，哥伦比亚大学的研究人员采用了一种新技术，可以确定、计算和分析瓶装水中纳米颗粒的化学结构。Instead of 300 per liter, the team behind the latest study found the actual number of plastic bits in three popular brands of water sold in the United States to be in between 110,000 and 370,000, if not higher. (The authors declined to mention which brands of bottled water they studied.)这项新研究背后的团队发现，每升瓶装水所含的塑料颗粒物不是300个，而是11万到37万个，甚至更多。研究所用的瓶装水来自在美国销售的三个大众品牌，但作者不愿透露是哪些品牌。The innovative new techniques presented in the study open the door for further research to better understand the potential risks to human health, said Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, an alliance of nonprofits committed to reducing babies' exposures to neurotoxic chemicals, who was not involved in the study.致力于减少婴儿与神经毒性化学物质的接触的非盈利联盟组织“健康婴儿光明未来”的研究主管简·霍利亨表示，这项研究提出的创新技术为进一步研究打开了大门，有助于更好地了解塑料对人类健康的潜在风险。霍利亨没有参与这项研究。“Infants and young children may face the greatest risks, as their developing brains and bodies are often more vulnerable to impacts from toxic exposures.” said Houlihan in an email.霍利亨在电邮中写道：“婴幼儿可能面临最大风险，因为他们的大脑和身体还在发育中，对有毒物质的抵抗力往往更低。”Nanoplastics are the most worrisome type of plastic pollution for human health, experts say. That's because the minuscule particles can invade individual cells and tissues in major organs, potentially interrupting cellular processes and depositing endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as bisphenols, phthalates, flame retardants, per- and polyfluorinated substances, or PFAS, and heavy metals.专家指出，纳米塑料是对人类健康最有害的塑料污染源。这是因为纳米塑料可以入侵人体细胞和主要器官组织，可能会干扰细胞的生物过程，在体内积淀打乱内分泌的化学物质，比如双酚类、邻苯二甲酸盐、阻燃剂、全氟或多氟化物、全氟烷基磺酸盐、重金属等。There are things people can do to reduce their exposure to plastics, said Houlihan.霍利亨指出，人们可以采取一些行动来减少与塑料的接触。"We can avoid consuming foods and beverages in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabrics and buy consumer products made from natural materials,” Houlihan said. “We can simply take stock of the plastic in our daily lives and find alternatives whenever feasible.”霍利亨表示：“我们可以避免摄入放在塑料容器中的食品和饮料。我们可以穿着用天然面料制作的衣服，购买用天然材质生产的消费品。我们可以仔细审视日常生活中的塑料制品，并在可行的情况下寻找替代品。”英文来源：美国有线电视新闻网翻译&编辑：丹妮

Microscopic particles from degraded plastics like water bottles and bags can infiltrate any organism's bloodstream, disrupting metabolic functions and potentially compromising health In a pioneering study published in Nature Journal, researchers from Leipzig University, and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, unveiled the harmful effects of polyethylene terephthalate nanoplastics, on an organism's metabolism and development.  The study, conducted on zebrafish embryos, showed the presence of PET NPs in their internal organs, and illustrated how exposure to such particles, impacts their physiology.  The adverse outcomes of NPs on humans, remain uncertain but are under active scientific investigation.  https://todaysfocusofattention.com/new-study-exposes-the-impact-nanoplastics-have-on-metabolism/

Come along down another nutrition rabbit hole, this time regarding plastics in the food supply (and elsewhere), the lagging state of the science, and how to protect yourself if you're concerned.

Matt Simon (@mrmattsimon) is a science writer at Wired magazine and the author of A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies. What We Discuss with Matt Simon: Microplastics contain a cocktail of toxic chemicals, many of which are linked to diseases like diabetes and cancer. Microplastics break even further into nanoplastics, which are small enough to move through human organs — including the brain — and enter our cells. Nearly everything around you — carpets, curtains, coasters, cups, packaging, clothing, couches, beds — contains plastic, and it all sheds plastic particles. Your home is one of the most polluted places – you could inhale as many as 7,000 microplastics a day. What we can do to reduce our exposure to microplastics and decrease our reliance on overall plastic consumption. And much more...

In this Green Beauty Opinion, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier voices her concerns about the pervasive use of microplastics in cosmetics. Following on from the previous guest interview with Madhuri Prabhakar of the campaigning organisation the Plastic Soup Foundation, this short opinion episode is a call to action to all beauty consumers to spread the word about just how worrying microplastics are. Because most of us just don't know that they lurk in the majority of our everyday personal care products. These liquid plastics – or synthetic polymers – are in everyday products from paints and sealants to shower gels and lipsticks. Their traces are found throughout the world from raindrops to our blood stream. Lorraine points out that there is a place for plastic, but not in cosmetics. It is used far too much and to the extent that we could say we have ‘plastified' our lives. But the beauty industry is massive and powerful and has spent decades convincing us that the performance of a cosmetic product is paramount. Microplastics are synthetic polymers with low water solubility that enhance glide, skin feel and stability in cosmetics. As nanoplastics they can enter the body, and they also get washed off to enter the food chain and persist in aquatic environments. With legislation on micro- and nanoplastics pending in the European Union, cosmetics' trade bodies have hit back at calls for a ban on microplastics in personal care formulations. Their argument seems to focus on semantics. Their definition of microplastics would provide a loophole to ensure their beloved synthetic polymers can remain in formulations. Lorraine stresses the need for the precautionary principle to come into play in this debate with action and legislation to remove microplastics from cosmetics before the extent of their harm is felt – and proved. The UK's Royal Society of Chemists says that industries should seek to move away from a ‘take, make and dispose' model of manufacture in order to reduce the amount of liquid synthetic polymers in use. As Lorraine has said many times on Green Beauty Conversations, the mainstream beauty industry thrives on this very cycle of manufacture. In summing up, Lorraine challenges us all to spread the word about hidden microplastics in cosmetics so more beauty consumers are aware of their choices and can lobby the microplastic-loving beauty giants.    

Reducing plastic in the packaging of personal care products is high on the agenda of many mainstream cosmetics' firms, but are microplastics in cosmetics getting the same attention? Even if a brand's packaging is plastic free, the product inside may not be. What goes into the bottle – the formulations we slather on each day – are literally riddled with micro- and nanoplastics. Shocked? So were we. We have covered the issues of post-consumer plastics, biodegradability and zero waste in the past. But plastic in outer packaging is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the use of plastic in the cosmetics' industry. An estimated 9 out of 10 mainstream personal care products may contain microplastics. These figures aren't plucked from thin air. They come from the Plastic Soup Foundation, a single-issue environmental organisation working to stop plastic pollution at its source. The Foundation conducted scientific research into its database of over 7,000 cosmetics from 10 big brands and concluded that microplastics were present in 87% of the products analysed. The environmental and human health impacts of these hidden plastics are now the subject not only of research, but also of proposed EU legislation. As we discover in this episode, intentionally-added microplastics are contentious and the very mention of their restriction or outright ban has seen push back from the mainstream cosmetics industry. To unpack the data from the charged debate, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier talks to Madhuri Prabhakar, project leader and campaigner of the Beat the Microbead (BTMB) campaign by the Plastic Soup Foundation. Listen in for some shocking revelations about plastics in cosmetic formulations.

According to estimates, by 2040 there will likely be nearly 90 million tons of plastic pollution entering the environment each year.  Particles of plastic have been found in virtually all parts of our planet including the land, the water, and even the air.  Tiny plastic particles have been found in the Arctic, the Antarctic, and […]

Plastic is ubiquitous. It is in the Arctic, in the depths of the Mariana Trench, and in the high mountaintops of the Pyrenees. It is in the air we breathe and the water we drink. Nanoplastics penetrate our cell walls. Plastic is not just any material—it is emblematic of life in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In Plastic Matter (Duke UP, 2022), Heather Davis traces plastic's relations to geology, media, biology, and race to show how matter itself has come to be understood as pliable, disposable, and consumable. The invention and widespread use of plastic, Davis contends, reveals the dominance of the Western orientation to matter and its assumption that matter exists to be endlessly manipulated and controlled by humans. Plastic's materiality and pliability reinforces these expectations of what matter should be and do. Davis charts these relations to matter by mapping the queer multispecies relationships between humans and plastic-eating bacteria and analyzing photography that documents the racialized environmental violence of plastic production. In so doing, Davis provokes readers to reexamine their relationships to matter and life in light of plastic's saturation.
