The plastic crisis isn’t just about garbage on beaches. The most dangerous part of it is invisible, and it’s micro- and nanoplastics. They are in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, and in the human bodies.
Micro- and nanoplastics are able to penetrate deeper than previously believed: they can bypass biological barriers, accumulate in tissues, and interfere in processes that affect health and continuation of life.
“Nanoplastics. Threat to Life” is a documentary produced with the involvement of world-renowned scientists. It presents the first comprehensive examination of the full range of risks associated with micro- and nanoplastics and demonstrates the real scale of the threat that these particles can pose to human health and sustainability of ecosystems, both for current and future generations.
The film pays particular attention to what makes nanoplastics especially dangerous: their ability to retain electrostatic charge. And that's exactly what might explain its destructive impact on living systems and natural mechanisms.
“Nanoplastics. Threat to Life” is a film about a crisis that cannot be seen with the eyes, but its consequences already affect the whole world.
