Alarm of micro plastic particles in beer

Each liter of beer produced in this country contains at least 4 artificial molecules, most of which are microplastics. This is a particle with a diameter of less than 5mm, broken down from larger plastic debris and it takes hundreds of years to several thousand years to fully decompose in the natural environment. The report published in the journal Public Library of Science discovered that the content of artificial nuclear molecules in the experimental beer samples was determined to be 4.05 grains / liter. Researchers estimate that just one can of beer per day is enough for consumers to consume up to 520 nuts per year.

To draw the above conclusion, a team of 3 experts analyzed 12 different beer brands from January to April 2017. All samples contained water from the Five Great Lakes in North America, including Ho Thuong, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Meanwhile, with a size of less than 5mm, micro plastic particles easily penetrate water filtration systems and eventually flow downstream to the Ngu Dai Ho region along with the sea, causing a serious threat to life in river, ocean and human systems. Another report found that microscopic plastic particles are present in 93% of bottled water around the world, meaning that plastic pollution isn't just a problem in the oceans.
