Nanoplastics Impact Circle

Core Human Needs

New research shows the levels of plastics in food and water—not just in bottled water but throughout the food and packaging chain—may be driving premature death. KIN assembled a group of scientists, sustainability experts, media professionals, educators, and concerned citizens to collaborate on finding actionable solutions for this colossal challenge. Dr. Sarah McCue leads and guides the circle on finding potential solutions to the nanoplastics issue. KIN provides experts to join regularly to enhance thinking based on this circle's needs and wants. Ultimately, the circle will develop recommendations and a game plan to share with relevant government agencies, companies, organizations, and the media.

The Need

The KIN Impact Circle aims to establish a new "World Order" that builds awareness where there is mainly pervasive unfamiliarity of this health crisis, reduces existing plastic pollution, and prevents the introduction of new polluting plastics. This ambitious goal requires collaboration, innovation, and commitment from dedicated individuals and highly regarded organizations.

Project Impact

The KIN Plastic Circle collaborates with health science, research, AI, and policy experts to:

- 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 -- Partner with advocacy experts to summarize complex research into a series of short videos and a youth-focused documentary to highlight the urgency of reducing plastic consumption—targeting products that are most frequently ingested or inhaled.

- Demand Moonshot Funding for Health Research -- Push to open new funding lanes to help health researchers identify methods to locate and remove plastic particles embedded in the human body, an urgent threat that demands immediate attention from global health and funding communities.

- Advocate for Transformative Policies -- We are working as a coalition to urge the ban of toxic plastic production and usage, classify plastic production, disposal, and degradation as toxic waste and eliminate plastic in food production and water distribution systems.
