Research indicates that accurate plastic can weaken your bones

It can be fine plastic A worker in raising osteoporosis cases all over the world, according to Recently published research. The study reveals that when these small plastic particles enter the body, they disrupt the performance of the bone marrow stem cells, which are necessary to maintain and fix bone tissue.

Throughout your life, your bones are renovated. Osteoporosis is a condition in which this process occurs, with bone breakdown out of its replacement rate. This weakens the bones over time and becomes more likely to break. the condition He has many risk factorsSex, sex, medications, diet, smoking, drinking, and genetics are all known to it – with the disease that develops slowly over time. Often people do not realize that they have the condition until they break the bone.

This new analysis, published in the International Bone Journal, adds exposure to accurate plastic as a possible new risk factor. The research reviewed 62 scientific articles that conducted different laboratory and animal tests on the potential effects of wandering in the bone. The analysis of laboratory experiments showed that microscopic plastids stimulate the formation of bone bone cells, and the cells created by stem cells in the bone marrow that analyzes bone tissue to enhance the sterility, a process in which the body collapses and removes old or damaged bones.

The study also found that with regard to bone, plastic molecules can reduce cells, cause early cellular aging, adjust genetic expression, and lead to inflammatory responses. The combination of these effects generates a defect in which the bone bone destroys the bone tissues more than it is renewed, causing the rapid bone structure to weaken.

When considering animal studies at the time, researchers found that accumulating accurate plastic in the body reduces the number of white blood cells – which suggests changes in the bone marrow function. In addition, these animal studies have indicated that the effect of exact plastic on bone cells may be associated with the deterioration of the bone microscopic structure and the formation of irregular cells of the cells, which increases the risk of osteoporosis, deformities, and fractures.

“In this study, the harmful effects that were observed, worried about the skeleton growth of animals,” said co -author Rodrigo Bueno de Oliveira in A. press release. “The potential effect of exact plastic on the bones is the subject of scientific studies and not minimal.”

Oliveira, the laboratory coordinator for the evaluation of minerals and orthopedic disorders in kidney disease at Campinas Governmental University in Brazil, is now with his team to prove the practice between exposure to precise plastic and the deterioration in the bone. This research will begin by assessing the effects of fine plastic molecules on the rodent bone.

“Although bone diseases are relatively well understood, there is a gap in our knowledge of the impact of strict plastic on the development of these diseases. Therefore, one of our goals is to generate evidence indicating that fine plastic can be a potential cause of the environment to explain, for example, the increase in the expected number of bones.”

Mache and nanic plastic plastic are small plastic fragments – which are so small that they are invisible to the naked eye – which are separated from daily things when sunlight, wind, rain, sea water or corrosion. The main difference between the two lies in their size: measuring accurate plastic from 1 ومر m (thousand thousand mm) to 5 millimeters, while the nanoparticles are smaller than one micrometer. These particles have been discovered All over the world in Natural environmentsAnd also throughout Human body And in meat, water and various agricultural products.

Studies began to show that this type of plastic pollution can Damage. Experts argue that this means that the world urgently needs to reduce its use of plastic. Every year, more than 500 million tons of materials are produced all over the world, but only 9 percent are recycled, with a large part of the rest to the environment and decomposition.
