Microplastics Disrupt Milk Quality: New Toxicological Evidence
A new scientific study published in NeuroToxicology provides compelling experimental evidence that chronic exposure to microplastics can significantly impair milk production and quality. Using a controlled rat model, researchers demonstrated that long-term ingestion of microplastics leads to physiological and neurological disruptions in lactating subjects. Key findings include oxidative stress in brain tissues, altered neurotransmitter levels, […]
FSSAI Launches Initiative to Detect Microplastics in Indian Food
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) launched an innovative project to tackle the growing concern of microplastic contamination in food on August 18, 2024, in New Delhi. Recognising microplastic pollution as an emerging threat that requires immediate attention, the project – “Micro-and Nano-Plastics as Emerging Food Contaminants: Establishing Validated Methodologies and Understanding the […]
