I’m not a biologist, but AFAIK just stopping new plastics inflow should be enough. The body continuously produces new cells to renew itself, including blood cells and what not, and this new material is plasticless.
Don’t take new plastic, and in a few years you should be good.
- dmbche 3y agoThe problem is that the plastic is not removed. Kind of the same thing as people having shrapnel or bullets lodged in them for life - while your cells regenerate, the object remains and still interacts with you.
- donny2018 3y agoShrapnel or bullets are large objects and obviously the body can’t get rid of them. Nanoplastic circulates in the bloodstream which is continuously refreshed, or sits somewhere in the cells which are continuously disposed of. Some toxins or heavy metals can accumulate in bones, but I’m not sure if plastic can do that.
