In the magazine “Environmental Science & Technology” research was published that show the dark side of magical sponges. Researchers examined this product during its use, and thus rolling it with metal, rough surfaces. We do the same when cleaning the oven or pots.
The results are surprising – One magic sponge releases 6.5 million microplastic fibers for every gram of consumption. It is true that those with high density consume slower, but after a long time of use will become a source of microplastics.
The worst thing, however, is that these fibers do not disappear. Some flow along with the sewage system, and others remain on kitchen appliances or float in the air. Then we deal with them in the whole kitchen.
Microplastik is present literally everywhere – in water, in soil, in the air. It is also detected in the human body. Scientists have collected a lot of evidence of his harmfulness – can cause inflammation, hormonal disorders, and damage the organs.
Magic sponges can be replaced with a bamboo brush or coconut fiber.. These two cleaning accessories are completely biodegradable. We can also use steel wool, but in her case we must be careful not to scratch the surface.
Homemade cleaning agents are becoming more and more popularwhich are effective and at the same time safe for our health and the environment. I am talking about vinegar and citric acid.
