Zeolite Innovation: Researchers Identify Microplastics in Southern Rocky Mountains – Effective Detox Solution Emerges

Researchers collected snow, fog and rain samples from several regions in the Southern Rocky Mountains of Colorado. After analyzing their samples, they discovered there were levels of microplastics present.

 

Natural zeolite liquid and zeolite powder are the perfect solution to microplastics because these tiny zeolite particles can travel deep into the body’s tissues where microplastics may accumulate and research shows that zeolite can trap a wide variety of toxins, from heavy metals to chemicals, to plastic compounds such as BPA. Liquid zeolitesupplements are easy to use and are designed for daily use, which is ideal since we are exposed to microplastics, nanoplastics and other toxins constantly throughout the day.

 

Installing a water filtration system in your home, and avoid consuming too much seafood since a large percentage of it is contaminated with microplastics are some ways to help avoid microplastics. Obviously it is impossible to totally avoid microplastics & nanoplastics, because there are literally thousands of products housed in plastic containers such as spring water, ketchup & other condiments, mayonnaise, peanut butter, the list goes on and on.

 

Apples and carrots are the most contaminated fruit and vegetable, respectively, with over 100,000 microplastics per gram. An Italian study from 2020 showed that apples were the most contaminated while lettuce was the least. 

 

Vegans may consume less microplastics compared to non-vegans, as a significant portion of microplastic contamination in food comes from the consumption of seafood and other animal products.

 

The abundance of nanoplastics with the most frequent particle sizes in range of 58–255 nm was 1.67–2.08 μg/L in tap water.

 

Contrary to common belief, it’s not just plastic bottles and food packaging that’s creating these microplastics. Approximately 35% of all microplastic pollution comes from textiles that contain synthetic fibers. This includes most bedding, clothes, and upholstery. With time and washing, these fibers degrade into microplastics and contaminate the environment.

 

A study by the University of Newcastle in Australia estimates that we each consume 5g, or about the size of a credit card, of microplastics every week. Additionally, a groundbreaking study confirmed fears that we are eating plastic when it detected the presence of microplastics in human stool samples from across the world.

 

The sorption system based on Bentonite Branany and natural mineral zeolite clinoptilolite for microplastic removal from water was successfully designed and tested not only at the laboratory scale but also at a designed pilot plant unit in the municipal waste water treatment plant (WWTP) in the Czech Republic for 10 months.

 

Microplastics are ingested by aquatic creatures from microorganisms to fish.
