Description
Plastic has made its way into our lives – and now into our bodies - under the guise of ‘convenience’. But is plastic a convenience worth paying for with our health?
Walk down the aisle of a supermarket and it’s near impossible to find something that’s not wrapped in plastic. It’s everywhere, but do we really know what it’s doing to us?
There are over 16,000 plastic associated chemicals (PACs) used in the production of plastic and the majority of these have not been studied in the context of human health. PACs have now shown to be linked to many conditions including cancer, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, fertility issues and autism.
The most comprehensive clinical trial on plastic exposure and human health is being undertaken right now in Perth, Western Australia. The trial is called The PERTH Trial (Plastic Exposure Reduction Transforms Health). This world-class team of researchers and clinicians are experts on plastics in the human body.
Reducing our exposure to plastics could transform our health. Australians are exposed to chemicals found in plastics every day, often without noticing. They can be found in the products we put on our skin, the clothing we wear, the air we breathe and the food we eat and more, but not enough is known about the impacts on health.
Professor Michaela Lucas from The University of Western Australia is leading this clinical research trial investigating exposure to plastic chemicals in adults in Perth, Western Australia.
The PERTH Trial is made possible by funding from the Minderoo Foundation, via a research grant to the University of Western Australia.
