This video is just the beginning. We invite health science, AI research, and policy experts to join us in tackling the pressing challenges posed by plastic pollution to human health. Here’s how we can make a difference together:

‍

🔍 Develop AI-Driven Insights Leverage AI to create a large quantitative model (LQM) identifying correlations among 7,000+ studies that link plastic inhalation and ingestion to increased risks of cancer, heart attack, stroke, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

🧠 Raise Global Awareness Utilize generative AI tools to highlight the urgency of reducing plastic consumption—targeting products that are most frequently ingested or inhaled.

🚨 Demand Moonshot Funding for Health Research Push for significant funding to help health researchers identify methods to locate and remove plastic particles embedded in the human body. This is an urgent threat that demands immediate attention from global health and funding communities.

📜 Advocate for Transformative Policies Work as a coalition to ban toxic plastic production and usage, classify plastic production, disposal, and degradation as toxic waste and eliminate plastic in food production and water distribution systems.

Together, we can create impactful solutions to one of humanity’s most pressing health challenges. Watch the video, share widely, and join the movement! 🌟
