    I totally appreciate you putting things into perspective, but also this simultaneously feels like when people thought smoking was no harm n infact good. No evidence in this case means not enough longterm studies are done on humans to see the effects(since these only came into light recently). People need to remember to maintain their sanity and just take steps that are helpful instead of panicking in which your video of information helps with. Always appreciate your content, thank you !

      If you've recently met any doctor, unfortunately they care less about real science and are not adept with recent research and updated technology and publications. Sometimes getting a perspective (not forming a rigid opinion) is necessary to ask the right questions to whoever you chose to believe in

      But instead the govt spends very little on science and spends more time listening to corporations that line thei pockets.

    Tyre and road wear particles TRWP, is one of the major source of microplastics in the air and water. In air it contributes to 44% and in water bodies, groundwater situated close to road or in the stormwater it can contribute to 60-90% of microplastic
    Note: This percentages are based on source contribution not amount of microplastics found in air and water.
    The major problem with microplastics is that it is very hard to detect and test. The test for the presence of microplastics are complicated and expensive. However, The actual effect of microplastics in human health and its dose being harmful is still unknown or rather, it can be said that lack of evident research on human (so people spreading false information about being carcinogenic, like swe already said by Krish, there is no evidence).
    What People should be more concerned about right now are the PFAS which are also called as ''Forever chemicals'' that are present in almost everything in this present times and these are extremely harmful to human health.
    I am doing my research on PFAS in wastewater. I would be happy if people see this comment and go research about it more and more, so they are aware of this and look for preventive measures.
    Note: Please look for information published in research papers.

    Here - how come 'bottled water' contains microplastics? The branded bottled water is all from industrial scale RO (reverse osmosis) plants, right? And we know that RO water is safe on this point. Is 'the plastic container' of the bottled water - the culprit?

    I have seen masala corroding the silver lining in the store bought packet , if stored for a long time.
    Kept out all plastics in kitchen (except kids tiffin box for snacks) and replaced them with glass and stainless steel.
    In Germany most plastics are collected for recycling, although not sure about how efficiently they are recycled.
    In India, people take plastic for granted and reuse non food grade plastics, make them dirty, dont recycle them .
    I could see people throwing plastic cover everywhere and don't feel guilty about it.

And some cafes are already serving drinks with organic straw made from rice. They are mostly saying no to plastic. And what about the horror of burning plastic in landfills. Even if micro plastic is evidently not harmful generally can we generally go on with the massive use of plastic itself?

We can’t cleanse the air we breath, cleanse underground water and avoid its stagnation through pvc pipes , But can cleanse the water in our counter top using copper plate, Dr khadar claims that it absorbs micro plastics and heavy metals.

    Hey Krish! Some people say that RO water purifier filters out all the essential minerals and depletes the nutrients from water. So can we use RO water purifier to filter water and then store that water in bronze, copper, brass or earthenware container? These metals or earthen pot should compensate for the nutrient loss from RO water and once again add essential nutrients and minerals back into the RO filtered water, right?

    Yes, plastics in water & air are a v big concern. While I may not have control over oceans & factories, I can still control the 1% that enters my home, that enters my/ my loved ones bodies. Just bcoz there's a mightier problem out there, I don't have to ignore & add 1% more to it. I will definitely eliminate plastic containers from my kitchen, food packaged in plastic containers, etc As an individual, everyone can make this difference, however small it may be. So let's not be cynical about it. Let us not distort every right/ good advice given. Let's do the right thing.

    Lack of evidence at this juncture, does not essentially guarantee that there is no harm,neither does it rule out the possibility of a probable harm subsequently.
    Fallacy of statistics is that it relies on a large set of data that unequivocally leans towards causality,and the time and accuracy for that data to come out is marred by innumerable confounders.
    Even though the exposure is regarded is low,the cumulative effect of low exposure over the years is another aspect that needs to be explored and explained.
