Ottawa's plan to add "plastic manufactured items" to the toxic substances list under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act cites evidence that microplastic pollution has found its way into shorelines and surface waters, sediment, soil, groundwater, indoor and outdoor air, drinking water and food.
"Humans are part of the environment, so if it's impacting the environment -- either directly or indirectly -- it's going to be impacting us," says Walker. While government research found "exposure to macroplastic pollution is not expected to be of concern for human health," it does note that plastic waste does breakdown in the environment -- albeit very slowly -- to produce microplastic waste.
"People have measured it in stool so we know we eat it and excrete it. The next question is: How does it impact humans? And so people are starting to study that," says Rochman, pointing to about 10 investigations involving human cell lines or mice. Then there are the additives that are applied to plastic in manufacturing: polymer stabilizers, flame retardants, lubricants, plasticizers, and colourants which may degrade to form other chemicals such as phthalates, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, lead, and cadmium. Canada banned bisphenol A from baby bottles in 2010.
Nevertheless, Walker says "the evidence is now indisputable" that plastic particles belong on CEPA's list.

Plan to retrieve Titanic radio spurs debate on human remainsCould the world’s most famous shipwreck still hold remains of passengers and crew who died a century ago? There are NO human remains left in, at, or around the titanic. Even if there were, who cares? If we made every place a human died a protected and 'sacred' location, you would never be able to move anywhere on this planet without stepping on someone's 'grave.' So what's the cutoff for human remains? Certainly they are found in older archeological sites and excavated. 100 years...too soon. 200 years...? not the titanic... the olympic... just another lie... another hoax... insurance scam to sink/scuttle a twice wreck'd ship with a bent keel... 1500 died... by 'accident'... and those who caused it... got away with the world e'er after with another lie (:~:)
