Did you know that every time you eat, drink and inhale, you consume tiny, microscopic pieces of plastic?

你知道嗎，每次你吃東西、喝水、還有呼吸的時候，你都會攝入微小的、微觀的塑膠顆粒？

看看我們可愛的 Professor Cuddlesworth。

While some of the plastic leaves your body when you exhale or go to the bathroom, the rest remains inside of you.

雖然有些塑膠在你呼氣或上廁所的時候會排出體外，但剩下的就會留在你體內。

This parasitic plastic discovery set off alarm bells in the scientific community.

這種寄生的塑膠發現，讓科學界敲響了警鐘。

And researchers set out determine exactly how much we are ingesting and if it's causing any harm.

研究人員開始著手確定我們到底攝入了多少，以及這是否會造成任何傷害。

Microplastics are particles smaller than 5 millimeters that have broken off from larger plastic objects.

微塑膠是從較大的塑膠物體上脫落，小於 5 公釐的顆粒。

These tiny particles are everywhere in water, dust, clothes, produce, agriculture, you name it.

這些微小的顆粒無所不在，存在於水中、灰塵、衣物、農產品、農業，應有盡有。

You are a warehouse of water bottle bits.

你根本就是一個寶特瓶碎片的倉庫。

This is one reason why it's hard to determine exactly how much we consume.

這也是為什麼很難確切知道我們攝取了多少的原因之一。

And no, it's not a credit card size amount.

而且，這不是信用卡大小的份量。

The actual amount depends on where you live, what you eat, where water comes from, and

實際的份量取決於你住在哪裡、你吃什麼、水從哪裡來，還有

In one study on the American diet, researchers estimated that each person consumes between 39,000 and 52,000 microplastic particles each year from food and drink alone.

在一項關於美國飲食的研究中，研究人員估計，光是從食物和飲料中，每個人每年就會攝入 39,000 到 52,000 顆微塑膠顆粒。

When they took breathing into account, these numbers jumped to 74,000 and 122,000 particles a year.

如果把呼吸也算進去，這個數字會跳升到每年 74,000 到 122,000 顆。

And if you only drink water from plastic bottles, add another 90,000 particles to that worst case scenario, this translates to about 580 microplastic particles a day.

如果你只喝寶特瓶裝的水，最糟的情況下還要再加上 90,000 顆，這相當於每天大約 580 顆微塑膠顆粒。

That's sounds like a lot, but again, some of it will find its way out.

聽起來很多，但還是要說，有些還是會排出體外。

但沒錯，並不是全部都會排出。

Scientists have found microplastics everywhere in the human body, including livers, hearts, placentas, testicles, limb joints, blood vessels, bone marrow, and

科學家們在人體各處都發現了微塑膠，包括肝臟、心臟、胎盤、睪丸、四肢關節、血管、骨髓，還有

This means that these particles can leave the lungs and GI tract and enter tissues and cells.

這意味著這些顆粒可以離開肺部和胃腸道，進入組織和細胞。

那麼這對你的健康有什麼影響呢？

So far, researchers haven't definitively proven that microplastics cause health problems in humans, but

到目前為止，研究人員還沒有確切證實微塑膠會對人類造成健康問題，但是

For instance, some of these chemicals in plastics are known to disrupt the endocrine system, which makes hormones that control growth and development, metabolism, mood, and

舉例來說，塑膠中的一些化學物質已知會干擾內分泌系統，也就是製造控制生長和發育、新陳代謝、情緒以及

In addition, animal studies have indicated that microplastics can cause oxidative damage, DNA damage, and

此外，動物研究顯示微塑膠會造成氧化損傷、DNA損傷，以及

changes in gene activity, all of which are known risk factors for cancer.

基因活性的改變，這些都被認為是罹患癌症的風險因素。

And a recent study on humans found that patients with microplastics in their corroded artery plaque were more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or die.

最近一項針對人類的研究發現，動脈粥狀硬化斑塊中含有微塑膠的患者，更有可能發生心臟病、中風或死亡。

By now, I'm sure you're all wondering how to avoid microplastics.

說到這裡，大家一定很好奇該怎麼避開微塑膠。

嗯，抱歉要告訴大家，這並不容易，但

you can start by using only glass, wood and metal items when you cook and eat, getting a HEPA filter, and

你們可以從烹飪和用餐時只使用玻璃、木頭和金屬製品開始，再裝個 HEPA 濾網，還有

The truth is though, plastic is everywhere.

Plastic Playland is actually just Earth and you can never leave this theme park.

Plastic Playland 其實就是地球，而你永遠無法離開這個遊樂園。

But if we really want to be plastic free, we need to figure out ways to end our reliance on it and clean up the existing plastic pollution in the sea, land and air.

但如果我們真的想擺脫塑膠，我們就得找出方法終止對它的依賴，並清理海洋、陸地和空氣中現有的塑膠汙染。

Because why is it your fault for any of this?

因為這一切怎麼會是你們的錯呢？

These companies made you believe that you were responsible responsible for recycling everything and handling all of it.

這些公司讓你覺得，回收和處理所有塑膠的責任在你身上。

It's their product and they should share most if not all of the blame.

這是他們製造的產品，所以大部分，甚至全部的責任都應該是他們的。

So do you think you can survive in a plastic free world?

所以你覺得你能活在沒有塑膠的世界嗎？

你覺得這一切都是小題大作嗎？
