The researchers also tested five types of sugar purchased from both online and local markets. In these samples, the concentration of microplastics ranged from 11.85 to 68.25 pieces per kilo. Non-organic sugar had the highest levels of microplastics. Moreover, the study revealed the presence of various forms of microplastics in all salt and sugar samples, including fibre, pellets, films and fragments. Their sizes ranged from 0.1 mm to 5 mm. "The objective of our study was to contribute to the existing scientific database on microplastics so that the global plastic treaty can address this issue in a concrete and focused manner. We also aim to trigger policy action and attract researchers' attention to potential technological interventions that could reduce exposure risks to microplastics," Toxics Link founder-director Ravi Agarwal said, as per PTI. Toxics Link associate director Satish Sinha added, "Our study's finding of substantial amounts of microplastics in all salt and sugar samples is concerning and calls for urgent, comprehensive research into the long-term health impacts of microplastics on human health."
