What people are saying
The discussions highlight varying perspectives on microplastic ingestion, referencing estimates such as '833 particles/day' for adults and questioning statistics on 'one credit card's worth of plastic' consumed weekly. The tone ranges from alarm and urgency to skepticism, as seen in phrases like 'Obviously not lol' and 'It’s likely exaggerated,' illustrating a mix of concern and critical analysis which shapes the overall sentiment towards the publication.
There are mixed reactions to the findings, with some questioning the validity of the estimates and others acknowledging the potential health implications.
The discussions reflect a strong curiosity about microplastic accumulation and its effects, as users frequently mention the estimated ingestion rates.
Many comments provide critical insights into the research, referencing the methodology and challenging the estimates presented.
While some users express concern about the implications of plastic consumption, others seem skeptical, leading to a moderate perception of impact.
Abstract in brief
- The study addresses the significant issue of microplastic exposure in children and adults, using a probabilistic lifetime exposure model that considers various sources of intake, including food and inhalation.
- Findings indicate that children can accumulate up to 832 trillion microplastic particles by age 18, while adults may accumulate up to 501 trillion by age 70, with specific daily intake rates identified for both groups.
- The model's simulations align with empirical data on microplastic concentration in stool, suggesting that the overall contribution of microplastics to chemical intake is relatively low, highlighting the need for further research on other food sources.

8. Do we really ingest 213 micrograms of microplastics per year?
@NutritionTipzzz His information is disproven. It takes 10 000 years to ingest a credit card's worth of plastic and it's not toxic anyway. Nur HazimahMohamed Nor, Lifetime Accumulation of Microplastic in Children and Adults, Environmental Science& Technology, 55 (8), pp 5084–5096, 2021
Estimates say we ingest ~5 grams/week of plastic — about a credit card’s worth — mostly from food, bottled water, and dust.

@karpathy beware that the "one credit card/week" is likely multiple orders of magnitude exaggerated, with other studies pointing out flaws in the original one, and resulting in values closer to one grain of salt/week https://t.co/MCwiY9gFd7 https://t.co/d45wPiLR94 https://t.co/VMD4H6EUaj

@sonoffelix62 The 'every week' statistic is out of date, just FYI. It's now estimated that in the worst cases, we consume a credit-card mass every year. The every week stat was based on a severe overestimation of the mass of microplastics. For latest see https://t.co/HJ2NuhjZ3m
@KavehMadani (This statistic is incorrect - at worst, it's a credit card's worth of plastic a year. The original authors used estimates of the mass of an average microplastic which were orders of magnitude too high. See https://t.co/HJ2NuhjZ3m for latest).
