New research shows that dolphins are exhaling microplastics 🐬 According to research published in the PLOS One journal, bottlenose dolphins in Sarasota Bay in Florida and Barataria Bay in Louisiana are breathing out microplastic fibres. The study found that the microplastic particles exhaled by the dolphins are similar in chemical composition to those that have been found in human lungs. Since dolphins are mammals, microplastics may pose similar health risks as they do to humans – affecting reproduction, cardiovascular health, and neurological function.

Scientists from the University of Birmingham have revealed that research and regulators are overlooking microplastics used in leave-on cosmetic and personal care products. 🧴💄 Microplastics in leave-on cosmetics are being deprioritised by researchers and regulators. This includes products such as sunscreens and lip balms. While most regulations focus on rinse-off products, leave-on products could contribute significantly to environmental pollution and health risks. The study reveals a concerning lack of testing on leave-on products such as sunscreens, moisturisers, hand-sanitisers, deodorants, and lipsticks, which could contain ingredients that carry both environmental and health implications.

How can cassava peel protect the environment from pollution? 👇 Cassava peel is a fibrous, starch-rich by-product derived from the cassava plant during the processing of its roots for food, starch, and animal feed. Despite being a waste product, cassava peel has a variety of valuable applications, including: 🛢️ bio-oil – cassava peel can be used to make bio-oil, a renewable energy source. 🥣 animal feed – it’s often used as feed for ruminants, poultry, fish, sheep, goats, and pigs. ♻️ bioplastics – as cassava peel contains lots of starch, it can be used to make bioplastics. At Teysha Technologies, we harness the potential of cassava peel to create our solution, AggiePol. We source glucose from natural waste products like cassava peel to develop our bioplastics that biodegrade naturally into non-harmful sugars. With our technology, we are aiming to replace polluting plastics across a range of industries, from packaging to cosmetics to construction. Stay tuned for updates! #Bioplastics #PlasticPololution #NaturalResources
