New ocean chemical pollution study raises human health concerns

Sian Sutherland, co-founder of A Plastic Planet, said: “For years plastic pollution has been framed as an environmental issue, but the science shows us a deeper reality – plastic chemicals are entering our bodies and disrupting with our biology. It is the next global health crisis and governments are ignoring the decades of scientists ringing the alarm.

“When even our babies are exposed to these toxic chemicals from the moment of conception, impacting the future health of entire generations, we must learn that plastic crisis is not about waste in some faraway land but the pollution in our own bodies. This new documentary, The Plastic Detox, shows us how the true extent of plastic chemical impact, reducing fertility to such low levels that IVF becomes the norm”.
