‘Tsunami’ of plastic damaging health must be stopped, scientists warn UN

Sian Sutherland, co-founder of A Plastic Planet and the Plastic Health Council, said: “Plastic is inescapable, omnipresent in our lives, and so are the chemical additives and particles that come with it.

“We are breathing, drinking and eating plastic every day. It is a material that is not on the periodic table. It is a blend of chemicals; some of them deemed toxic by health scientists. No more research and facts are needed to irrefutably prove these chemicals are bad for us.”
