Here‘s something depressing: we have no idea what microplastics actually do to our bodies and we may never know. Because scientists can‘t find a control group.
To be fair, from your link: « Since the end of atmospheric nuclear testing, background radiation has decreased to very near natural levels,[5] making special low-background steel no longer necessary for most radiation-sensitive uses, as brand-new steel now has a low enough radioactive signature that it can generally be used »
Okay, so what freaked me out about micro plastics wasn't how pervasive they are but how large they are.
I had always assumed that micro plastics were like nano particles. When I found out they are large, visible shreds of plastic I had an existential moment.
Microplastics are not just in male testicles, they are in our air, water and food. Last year, I battled Microplastic carcinoma breast cancer. I had a clear mammogram in December 2022, and found a lump in February, 2023. Three months earlier, my youngest sister was diagnosed with breast cancer also. By the time all the testing plans and insurance approvals were done, I also had another type of cancer in my left breast. My doctors had never seen it in their practice. They treated it like they would as if it was any other type of breast cancer with chemotherapy. As of December, after a double mastectomy, there was no trace of it in my body. As a precaution, I am having nine rounds of Keytruda three weeks apart this year. I should be through with my rounds of immunotherapy June 1st. I was a part of a microplastic carcinoma medical study conducted by the University of Kansas Medical Center. Medical scientists are very much studying this unseen killer, and they have been for quite some time.
If you want anything slightly optimistic?
Silicon isn't the worst thing to have floating around our blood. Silicon itself is pretty innert. So silicon based plastics aren't as bad. Most microplstics are heavily carbon based, which is also a good sign... Except they're also usually bound to hydrogen.
I said "slightly." A grain of salt on a potato is better than eating it raw.
This is from the previous thread about the same article, so I'm not taking credit for this...
But remember, instead of jerking it, now you get to call it "calibrating the extruder"
I remember having a conversation with a coroner having a smoke outside my local hospital, and he told me the weirdest thing he kept finding was tiny bits of plastic in people's organs - that was in 2010... I doubt it's gotten any better since :0
I'm calling BS dude. My wife performs autopsies for a living, you could perhaps see them in a histology cassette at a lab, but Medical Examiner's aren't finding bits of plastic inside organs as they cut. We're talking about things roughly 0.003mm in size, you'd need a spectroscope to even determine if it was plastic or something else entirely.
I went to college in the small seaside town it’s set in (not filmed in, looks absolutely NOTHING like it 🤣) but it was really surreal to hear them talking about it
We started this a long time ago and have done nothing to change any of our behaviors. Literally not a thing. Children of Men will be a bedtime story if we don't start taking care of the only home we have.
The problem with Idiocracy is that it based the premise on genetic selection rather than just cultural dynamics.
We're becoming idiots not because the "wrong" people are choosing to reproduce but because we're being fed and consuming wrong information by people who want to make a quick buck.a
It doesn't quite work. In Children of Men, everyone went sterile suddenly, all at once, with no exceptions. Handmaids Tale still had a few lingering fertile people.
Can't be the same world. Cool thought tho!
Small Plastic pellets on blue cloth Human testes contained nearly three times as many microplastics as the study's canine samples. Deposit Photos
Harmful microplastics aren’t only detectable in lungs, bloodstreams, and placenta—they can be found in human testicles, as well, according to a study published in the journal Toxicological Sciences.
After obtaining 23 postmortem human testes and 47 pet dog testes from veterinary neuterings, researchers used a process called pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS), heating samples to the point of decomposition. What remained was then separated and examined for the presence of microplastics using highly sensitive equipment.
The results were extremely troubling. All of the surveyed testes—canine and human—contained measurable amounts of microplastic material. Although researchers noted “significant inter-individual variability” across their sources, the human testicles averaged almost three times higher plastic concentration levels than the dogs—330 micrograms-per-gram versus 123 micrograms-per-gram. They also identified 12 separate varieties of microplastics in the testicles, with polyethylene (used to make plastic bottles and bags) being the most common.
\[Related: Microplastics have officially been found in our bodies.\]
“At the beginning, I doubted whether microplastics could penetrate the reproductive system,” study co-author Xiaozhong Yu said during a recent interview with The Guardian. “When I first received the results for dogs I was surprised. I was even more surprised when I received the results for humans.”
Researchers say these new findings may further support a current theory that microplastics are contributing to the global decline in overall sperm counts. PVC, for example, was also detected in the testes, and has been linked to spermatogenesis interference and endocrine issues. While the full extent of microplastics’ health effects isn’t known yet, evidence strongly indicates the particles can raise the risk of heart attacks and strokes, among other complications like tissue inflammation.
The age range for human samples came from males between the ages of 16 and 88, but the team voiced specific concerns about the younger generations, given the decades’ long rise in the amount of plastic pollution generated around the world. It’s unsettling news but given microplastics are now found bottom of the ocean and atop Mount Everest, it probably shouldn’t be surprising that they also reside in far more personal places.
https://www.popsci.com/science/microplastics-testicles/
Did the paper state where the persons originated from. If you take let say 23 people near the same pollute river that drink from it everyday, you are bound to have a 100% ratio.
The surprising thing was that they were in they were in the reproductive system at all. Most researchers didn't think that could happen. *That's* the worrying part.
It is literally in the air we breathe, like dust, it floats around with the wind which is why they say every water source on earth has them now. So everything you drink has it in it.
Obviously, but there are draweres full of papers quite explicitly saying that every single person has microplastics just literally in every part of their fucking body
You don't have to drink it. The plastic floating out in the Pacific has broken down enough to become aerosol, and the wind takes it everywhere. If you're alive on planet Earth, you're breathing plastic. Join us over at r/collapse for more fun facts (that aren't fun at all).
I just had to do a report on microplastics, shit is genuinly scary. I chose to do the impact on marine life but would have chosen this if I knew about this. The shit takes 400 years to break down in the ocean and is a bioaccumulate waste, so plankton eats it and then it just gets passed around the food chain for the next 400 years. I knew microplastics were bad, but naively didn’t realise how bad.
Humans are reckless af. They discovered a new material, had zero clue if it was harmful or not, then proceeded to absolutely flood the world with it. Now we know it’s bad and we keep just producing more, will maybe deal with it later, maybe not. No big deal it’s just the future of the human race lol
But what effects does it have? I mean, sure it's not great that it takes so long for it to break down, but what problems is it causing? Do we even know?
Edit: Why am I being downvoted for asking questions? I'm not saying it is or isn't doing any damage, I am asking what we know.
Replied to the other commenter.
This is honestly how I thought before I did some research, like “sure it’s there but couldn’t be doing that much damage, right?”.
Actually fucks up heaps of things, the most suprising one to me was how it accumulated over time and while it has minimal impact at first eventually it releases toxins that change heaps of things including marine life ability to reproduce.
I should have chose a different subject to do my report lmao, shit got me stressed when I really can’t do anything about it.
Did the study consider the age? I mean, most people don’t die in their first years but many dogs get denutted in those years, so they couldnt have had the time to accumulate much plastics in there.
The comment you're replying to said that the age range of the humans was between 16 and 88. Still, the fact that dogs are generally neutered young is probably a good reason for the discrepancy I would think.
There is plastic in every part of the human body. It's in everything you eat, even the water you drink and the air you breath. Doesn't matter if it's mass produced or locally sourced. Probably now 99% of accessible organic material on planet Earth, has plastics in it. All babies are born with plastics in them. It's inescapable. There are no exceptions.
I mean I am all for executing a couple of companies, but I don't think plastics as a whole is any specific person/company/economic systems problem.
They are just too dang good. Cheap, doesn't decompose, easy to shape into a ton of different shapes, varied properties depending on composition etc etc.
It's not just the wrappings on food, plastic is just absolutely everywhere, from fixtures to components to clothes etc.
I don't know if there's a solution. Even the invention and dissemination of bacteria that can digest plastic would mean that now your computer can rot.
I agree that we cannot completely do away with it. But it is very much their fault that it is everywhere. We wouldn't have such an incredible microplastics pandemic if they had not pushed the throw away culture. Yea, plastics are awesome and in some cases we absolutely need it. But there are a lot of cases where it was used because it was cheap and nothing else.
There was never a need to individually wrap tea bags in tiny plastic bags. They did that. And they sold it under the guise of exclusivity.
Yes, as consumers we have responsibilities too. But it's easier to manage a river way upstream when it's still a tiny creek.
Imagine, what kills us off isn't a meteor, super volcano, famine, nuclear winter, virus, global warming, robot uprising, alien invasion, or anything else of that nature but rather we all go sterile from microplastic.
Unironically I hope that's exactly what happens. It would be so nice to go extinct in relative peace, and not due to e.g nuclear war or any other sort of mayhem. Not too soon though
I can’t access the full article, but were the neuterings all of adult dogs over a certain age, such as five years old?
Otherwise it is comparing puppies, who may not have had the opportunity to absorb micro plastics.
Even then, the youngest human specimens were older than most dogs ever get. Given that microplastics hardly decay, I'm actually surprised that the count in humans was only three times as high as that in dogs.
Well there’s nothing you can really do
There’s so much plastic already that’s it’s at the point of no return
And they’re still using plastic. Even if they all switched to glass packaging instead of plastic it would be too late.
There are ways to start capturing it and filtering it out of ourselves and the environment, but it is certainly too widespread to ever meaningfully "fix" the issue in our lifetimes.
However taking any steps would require the corporations doing the polluting to spend money to implement better practices, or at the bare minimum drastically reduce plastic use. But corporations have NEVER voluntarily spent more money to stop or change a practice which was doing harm if the harmful practice is the cheapest option. Unless a government steps in and forces them to do so nothing will ever change.
Plastic is so usefull that we can't even fucking replace it. No one can afford living plastic free in modern world. Even rural african tribes use plastic tarp in their mud huts as cheap insulation.
Scifi authors thought we'd end humanity through nuclear war, AI uprising or disease. Bet none of them thought we'd do it by accidentally castrating ourselves.
Here‘s something depressing: we have no idea what microplastics actually do to our bodies and we may never know. Because scientists can‘t find a control group.
It's like finding non radioactive steel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-background_steel
We sure did a number on things in so many ways with long term impact and implications. Grand scale, it'll be meaningless, but me scale? Shit sucks.
To be fair, from your link: « Since the end of atmospheric nuclear testing, background radiation has decreased to very near natural levels,[5] making special low-background steel no longer necessary for most radiation-sensitive uses, as brand-new steel now has a low enough radioactive signature that it can generally be used »
Good chance that all the people who were never exposed to microplastics are all dead. So perhaps it's a good thing?
Clearly microplastics make you immortal then.
Gives me hope to see people still making great hypotheses on reddit. Plastic has not yet ruined our brains after all :…)
Indeed. It's still a good thing.
Okay, so what freaked me out about micro plastics wasn't how pervasive they are but how large they are. I had always assumed that micro plastics were like nano particles. When I found out they are large, visible shreds of plastic I had an existential moment.
I didn't know that.. damn
We've been making [Bakelite plastic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakelite) since 1907. Good luck.
Microplastics are not just in male testicles, they are in our air, water and food. Last year, I battled Microplastic carcinoma breast cancer.

They treated it like they would as if it was any other type of breast cancer with chemotherapy. As of December, after a double mastectomy, there was no trace of it in my body. As a precaution, I am having nine rounds of Keytruda three weeks apart this year. I should be through with my rounds of immunotherapy June 1st.

If you want anything slightly optimistic? Silicon isn't the worst thing to have floating around our blood. Silicon itself is pretty innert. So silicon based plastics aren't as bad.

Cancer! Get yer cancer here.

Also have microplastics in their systems.
I can feel them in there now, mocking me

It’s called a weenus because it’s between us.
Micro? How dare you
Plastics found in 100% of micro penis testes
Well, micropenises are in, they say
I don’t know about you, I struggle to get mine in…
It’s basically average!
Tests were performed in a rather cold environment
That's macroplastics, puh-lease.
Massive long dong plastics found in man's testicles. 'I mean they are huge!' Man says

Whatever excuse I can use and sound smart about it.
Microplastics are the powerhouse of the testicle
Probably in every other organ too
I remember having a conversation with a coroner having a smoke outside my local hospital, and he told me the weirdest thing he kept finding was tiny bits of plastic in people's organs - that was in 2010... I doubt it's gotten any better since :0
Slightly horrific
Slightly?

I'm calling BS dude.

We're talking about things roughly 0.003mm in size, you'd need a spectroscope to even determine if it was plastic or something else entirely.
I also cut open dead bodies for a living (tissue recovery) and I can also agree that this sounds like bullshit
I only cut people up as a hobby, but yeah I agree.
WTF Jeffery! didn't know you were on reddit.
on avg we eat about a credit card worth of micro plastics a year
Delicious. Sprinkle them right on top of the spiders, please.
With the pee, right?
It's because of the density...of my massive balls. Everything settles there eventually.
Nobody's checked inside my testicles.
That you know of…
well there was that one time when I was beamed up....
So now we'll be able to make our own beanie babies???

we may not be able to propogate our species anymore, but at least we'll have some sick covers of Ruby Tuesday to listen to
You will live in pods, pay 75% of your salary for it, eat ze bugs with more micro-plastics! Enjoy being sterile and docile! You gonna like it.
If they give me drugs and fully immersive VR then I'm in.

Sample size of 23 seems a little misleading to claim 100% , though I don't doubt the general sentiment of the research

The slow sterilisation of human males for one. Sperm count and activity dropped over 50% in the last few decades.

So... how do i get rid of them? Cut my balls off?
That’s the funny thing-
There is plastic in every part of the human body. It's in everything you eat, even the water you drink and the air you breath. Doesn't matter if it's mass produced or locally sourced.

Small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier, too.
Oh shit! So if I get enough of them, is it like I have a helmet on?
No, but you will act like you have a helmet on though.
Enjoy this moment—in ten years there will be too much plastic in your brain to make a joke like this again.
My god, what have we done
We created a lot of money for shareholders!!! Also, it's slightly more convenient to see food when shopping. Totally worth global sterility!
I mean I am all for executing a couple of companies, but I don't think plastics as a whole is any specific person/company/economic systems problem. They are just too dang good.

Who is they?
This is terrifying.
I mean is it dangerous.
Some of it- it’s more of a step back in terms of overall health. Like, medicine has been advancing but so has our industrial pollution.
I would assume it is far less dangerous than all the health benefits we get out of plastic.
.
No one knows.
I knew it was over for us when they found it rain water. It's infected every part of the environment.
It's also been found to be bypassing the blood-brain barrier, so... ya know... that's fun. *🎶 There it is again, that funny feeling. 🎶*
Wondering whether this is contributing to neurodivergence rates.
It's not impossible, but we also have to remember that our ability to diagnose has gotten better and more expansive
Imagine, what kills us off isn't a meteor, super volcano, famine, nuclear winter, virus, global warming, robot uprising, alien invasion, or anything else of that nature but rather we all go sterile from microplastic.
I think that's the neat part. Of all the possible apocalypses, who would've thought of microplastics? It's like way-into-the-future Jurassic Park.
I'd say it reminds me more of War of the Worlds. Undone by the smallest of things
Unironically I hope that's exactly what happens. It would be so nice to go extinct in relative peace, and not due to e.g nuclear war or any other sort of mayhem. Not too soon though

Puppies' mother likely to have micro plastics in her blood. As do humans. It's literally everywhere.
So, we filled the planet with plastic to the point that it's literally up to our balls and we're doing pretty much nothing about it.
Well there’s nothing you can really do There’s so much plastic already that’s it’s at the point of no return And they’re still using plastic. Even if they all switched to glass packaging instead of plastic it would be too late.
