Annual production of fossil-fuel-based plastics will nearly triple by 2060 to 1.2 billion tonnes, while waste will exceed one billion tonnes.
The Plastic Health Map attempts to collate all research since the 1960s, when plastic production and pollution began ramping up.
The Plastic Health Map attempts to collate all research on the issue since the 1960s, when plastic production and pollution began ramping up. The database created by the project collects peer-reviewed primary human studies published between 1960 and 2022 that focused on the health effects of exposure to plastic chemicals and particles.
There was also little work on “substitution” chemicals, which have replaced formulas already known to cause harm, the role of paternal plastics exposure on infants, or the health impacts on older adults.Of 1,500 chemicals considered, just 30% had been studied at all for their effect on human health, the researchers said.
