Research: Microplastic entering the body of the child from the feeder!

The Dhaka Times Desk Children who eat milk in the feeder enter their stomachs more than 1 million small plastic particles or microplastics every day! Such sensational information has emerged from research.

More and more of these microplastics are entering the stomachs of children in rich countries. A recent study has revealed such information. However, experts are still not sure how much it affects children's health.

A group of researchers in Ireland also conducted research on how plastic is usually mixed in our food. Their published results show that, in addition to children, all of us are ingesting microplastics little by little without even realizing it.

They are usually made from large pieces of plastic. All the plastic containers that we keep food in are made of polypropylene. Ten different bottles used by children were also tested. Researchers have also warned that their effects can be terrible for our body.

Although the containers or the bottles are being manufactured according to the hygiene rules of the World Health Organization. Still, 1.3 to 16.2 lakh microplastics are emitted from a bottle per liter. Such information has emerged in the results of the research.

Using data from different bottles, the researchers created a model to show how many babies drink milk or other liquids from bottles and how many babies breastfeed. Studies show that in the first 12 months of life, a child is unknowingly ingesting 1.6 million microplastics a day.

Research also suggests that bottles should never be soaked in hot water to sterilize them. The reason is that it releases more microplastics. In this case, the bottle should be washed in cold water and the milk should be prepared in another container (except plastic). By doing this, the problem will be reduced to some extent, experts said.
