Scientists are finding plastic in our bodies. It’s time for the
FDA to act.

Tell the FDA: Protect us from microplastics
Scientists are finding tiny pieces of plastics in our bodies —
from our brains to our hearts and nearly everywhere they’ve
looked. And studies also show these microplastics are linked to
serious health risks like heart attacks, strokes, and cancers.
We are eating them and drinking them, yet there are
no laws regulating microplastics in our food and water.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must take
action to protect us from the dangerous health impacts of
microplastics. ( [link removed] )
TAKE ACTION ( [link removed] )
The government may be shut down, but we can flood
their inboxes now so when they're back, we can't be ignored!

Dear NRDC Activist,
It’s impossible to escape microplastics. Social media and
wellness outlets are bombarding us with advice — avoid bottled
water, skip nonstick pans, toss plastic cutting boards — as more
research exposes how these microscopic plastics threaten our
health. Even NRDC released a consumer guide to help people like
you protect yourself.
But here’s the truth: It shouldn’t fall
on consumers like us to figure out which products are safe. They
should be safe.
That’s why we’re calling on the FDA to
regulate microplastics in items we use to cook and drink from
every day. Producers and manufacturers must be held accountable
for their products. Send your letter to the FDA today. ( [link removed] )
Microplastics are the result of larger plastic products breaking
apart over time. And they’re entering our food and water in
multiple ways:
* Plastic containers. Scientists have found that heating food in
plastic packaging and/or containers releases plastic particles
and harmful plastic chemicals into food.
* Plastic water bottles. A recent study found that consumers who
drank bottled water instead of tap water ingested substantially
more microplastics every year.
* Nonstick pans. Nonstick cookware coated with PTFE, better known
as Teflon, was found to release millions of microplastics and
nanoplastics when scratched during use.
And that’s just direct exposure. Microplastics
are also polluting our soil, crops, livestock, and seafood —
meaning eating or drinking them is virtually unavoidable.
That can change, starting with the FDA holding
plastic producers accountable. Send your letter now — for the
health and environment of future generations. ( [link removed] )
