Our Plastic Planet is Hurting Humanity`s Health. Is there a Solution?
Summary
This commentary examines the global health impacts of plastic pollution and explores potential solutions ranging from individual behavior change to policy interventions and material innovation. The author argues that the scale of the problem demands coordinated action across governments, industries, and communities.
According to all studies, there is a contamination of the environment on this earth with plastic and its degradation products.Especially nanoplastics are highly dangerous.This trend has long since affected animals and humans.Diseases and deaths are the result.And this, although there are natural alternatives.Clear decisions and new ways are needed if humanity is not to remain exposed to this unnecessary risk.Possible solutions are the production of flax and hemp.

Plastic pollution: why is it a public health problem?
This commentary argues that plastic pollution is a public health problem due to the widespread human exposure to microplastics and plastic-associated chemicals, calling for regulatory action to address the full lifecycle of plastics including production, use, and disposal.
Plastic Pollution and Its Effects on Human Health
This review examined how plastics enter the environment through poor disposal and fragmentation, then infiltrate food chains and human bodies via ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. The authors summarized health risks from both microplastic particles and their associated chemical additives, calling for stronger global policy responses.
