Plastics the important part of the waste, the large part of them also forms of disposable materials. Plastic wastes devoid of living by habiting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems; nano and microplastics with smaller particle form of plastic wastes distributed in terrestrial and marine environments can cause a variety of health problems by eating or breathing from the human body. Sakarya University Faculty of Engineering, Professor of Environmental Engineering Department of Sakarya University, researching the presence of microplastics in powder sugar, powder sugar and cube sugar under the project of TÜBİTAK. Home Meral Yurtsever said that the powder sugar snacks to 13 different brands, in the scope of the first study in Turkey, examined the cube sugar of three brands and the powder sugar of three brands.

We found 550 microplastics in a cube sugar
] [[T]]Meral Yurtsever Citrate that uses Nile Red painting technique while examining microplastics, making the plastic particles look apparently Ra. Yurtsever, who had reviewed plastic particles between five millimeters and a micrometer in his research, shared the following information about results: “We found the average 20 thousand of microplastics in 100 grams of all sugars we’ve seen. Powder sugars and powder sugars are sold in plastic in packaging but cube sugars are sold in carton boxes. Despite this, the presence of microplastics in cube sugars was never less than others. We detected about 550 microplastics in a cube sugar. "[[T]] [[
[It comes from plants grown in the soil[[ T8] Meral Yurtsever said that the microplastic sources in the sugars that are examined are limited to four groups, detected microplastics; from the plant grown in poll soil, that is from beet, packaging, production processes and airborne origin: “It can be microplastic pollution welded from packaging but I think the production processes are quite important. It can be a plastic mixture in production phase, microplastic can be mixed from processes, cutting or other equipment. Sugars in our country outside of them are produced from sugar beet and sugar beet in the storage-rooted plants group. We know that storage-rooted plants can only be microplasics in the soil, but other toxic substances can also be taken to the leg. Even if there is arsenic in the soil, there are studies that determine the microplastics of this substance can bring to the root of the plant. "

]’ We encountered microplastic particles in different colors’

Meral Yurtsever said about packaging-welded microplastic detections: “In the sugar we mentioned, the bags of sugar were white or transparent. If late from these bags, white or transparent microplastics could pass, but there were almost plastic particles, fiber in almost any color, which could be blue, black, red, pink, yellow, green, purple. If we had to pass from the bag, we had to across come more in the form of films or particles, but we also came across microplastic particles in different colors that resemble direct bond. ”Specially disposable plastic and plastic enterprises, hidden microplastic resources. The carton can be swallowed with a number of microplastics and nanoplastics, which are drunk in a glass with a sugary bag tea, which contains plastic certificates. I mentioned that every carton can pass at 25 thousand microns of water from the cup, “This is a study that shows that the microbeds of the microbede that I mentioned are interested in water of millions of plastic particles. When we examine the sugar, a single cube sugar contains about 550 microplastics of a cube sugar, consider the average is 2.7 grams. So he spoke to a cardboard cup of tea and sugar throwing, nano and microplastic pollution when we drink. [

]]’ It’s time to remove plastics from our life’

Plastic production increased to 400 million tons in 1950s, Volume 200 times in 2020. Meral Yurtsever has attracted attention to the fact that the hunger is present in food, it is scattered in the ground, air, water, and push is a big danger to the future, by combining push“We cannot remove sugar from our lives but I think it’s time to remove plastics.” Meral Yurtsever, which emphasizes that the effects of plastics on both human and animal start to be conscious with studies, “There are studies that report the relationship with obesity. For example, when water birds swallow plastic, this reason is called fibrosisise that is called plasticosis. When we look at our hunger, we see that there is a serious problem in all living creatures. Copyright © 2017. All Rights Reserved.
