Plastic for Dinner: How Bisphenol A is Poisoning Alaska
PúblicoThe chemical breakdown of plastics in the Pacific Ocean releases BPA, a known lipophilic endocrine disruptor(i) . The effects of this chemical are particularly felt in Alaska due to converging ocean currents and a traditional high-fat diet(i) . We focused on a long term solution and a short term fix to this growing issue. To minimize human exposure to such harmful substances, we propose modified filtration systems on statewide sources of plastic waste and, on a local level; prevent the consumption of and contact with substances that contain BPA(iii,iv).
