⚠️Warning: The video contains graphic imagery that viewers may find unsettling. Microplastics are silently infiltrating every facet of our lives, and their impact on our health is undeniable. From the clouds above to the oceans below, and even within the food we consume, microplastics have become a pervasive threat. And now, they've been found in our hearts. ❤️🩹 Recent research has found micro and nanoplastics present in 60% of patients with asymptomatic severe carotid stenosis. These particles are breaching the body's natural barriers, such as the liver, and entering the circulatory system, where they could contribute to blockages in vital organs. This is not a drill. The risks are real, and the need for action is urgent. We can tackle this issue head-on by stopping the flow of microplastics into our environment—our air, water, and food. At Matter, we are committed to solving this problem with innovative technology and a proactive approach—educating brands, manufacturers, and policymakers about the urgency of reducing microplastic pollution. No one should suffer at the hands of micropollution, especially when solutions are within our reach. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our planet and our health.

Matter. Interesting. So, the body has an inflammatory response to Microplastics, which are endemic in the environment now. Pair this with the hormone-disrupting phthalates and BPA in plastics, and it's not a pretty picture.
Microplastics in the human circulatory system. Let that sink in. According to recent research, micro and nanoplastics are breaching natural barriers and have been detected in 60% of patients with asymptomatic severe carotid stenosis. The health implications are staggering, and the urgency to act has never been clearer. Posts like this from Matter. and The European Society of Cardiology are vital in sparking awareness and driving action. 🌍💡 It’s not just about highlighting the problem but also presenting solutions—this is a powerful example of purpose-driven marketing with a real social impact. At the heart of this message is a call to rethink our relationship with the environment and take collective action. As a community, what steps do you think businesses, policymakers, and individuals can take to address microplastic pollution? Let’s start a conversation—your insights might inspire the change we all need.
