Bi phenol's aka plasticizers within plastics.
Endocrine disruptors in plastics are a civilization sized problem.
Every year the plastic micro debris gets smaller and the problems grow larger.
- Syonyk 4y agoYeah... plastics are another one that's not going to be looked on fondly by future generations. Nasty bioactive stuff that's small enough to get everywhere and get into everything. And we literally make so much of it so it can be thrown out easily.
- nemo44x 4y agoThey’re so undeniably useful though. It’s a real shame.
- Syonyk 4y agoSo is asbestos. It's wonderfully useful in a huge range of ways. Just rather violently human toxic when broken down. Much like plastics.
- hypertele-Xii 4y agoPlastic is economically incredible, not because you get more of what you were already buying (though that's cool too), but rather because entirely new problem-solving products enter your purchase power level. Wealthy nations have a distorted view not because plastic is cheap (though it is), but because we're so rich that we no longer remember what it's like to be able to afford your first pair of shoes. Plastic was a miracle material.
