#Plasticusage

A new study links drinking from plastic bottles to potential health effects, including blood pressure and heart-related concerns. With plastic use pervasive in Thailand and worldwide, the findings prompt readers to reconsider everyday habits that may carry hidden risks.

Researchers from a private Austrian university published their work in Microplastics, examining microplastics— particles smaller than 5 millimeters—and how they might influence cardiovascular health. Microplastics come from the breakdown of larger plastics and are found in air, food, and drinking water we encounter daily.
