Researchers frm Sun Yat-sen University shared their findings in Internatinal Envirnment that micrplastics (微塑料) can make hair lss wrse by hurting the skin’s prtective barriers thrugh a prcess called xidative stress (氧化应激).
Micrplastics are very small pieces f plastic, smaller than 5 millimeters. They cme frm bigger plastic items breaking dwn, like shpping bags, take-ut cntainers, and drink bttles. These tiny bits can get int water, sil and air and they can mve up the fd chain and depsit in ur bdy.
The result f the first study shws when micrplastics are tested in living animals, they can create xidative stress and stp certain prteins frm wrking prperly. This can hurt the skin and the parts f the hair fllicles where hair grws, finally leading t hair falling ut.
In the secnd study, researchers explred hw new and aged micrplastics affect the skin and hair in mice. They gave mice water with these micrplastics fr tw mnths t see what wuld happen t their hair. After just ne day, researchers culd see that the micrplastics had mved thrugh the mice’s stmachs, gt int their bld and ended up in their hair. After tw mnths, the mice that drank water with aged micrplastics had mre damaged skin and falling hair than thse with new micrplastics. But further experiments are needed t decide whether aged micrplastics are mre harmful.
“Ntably, in daily life micrplastics can be fund in bttled water, clthes we wear, and even the air we breathe. It is estimated that a persn cnsumes apprximately 5 grams f micr-plastic particles per week n average,” said research leader Wang Xusheng.
12. Hw des the authr develp paragraph 2?
A. By qutatin.B. By listing numbers.
C. By cmparisn.D. By giving a definitin.
13. What can be inferred frm paragraph 3&4?
A. Micrplastics are absrbed thrugh many rgans.
B. Micrplastics finally depsit in the mice’s stmachs.
C. Researchers will carry ut further experiments n human beings.
D. New and aged micrplastics affect the mice t the same extent in the first study.
14. What is Wang Xusheng’s attitude twards micrplastics in daily life?
A. Indifferent.B. Objective.C. Cncerned.D. Skeptical.
15. Why des the authr write the passage?
A. T stress n the imprtance f hair prtectin.
B. T intrduce sme new findings f micrplastics.
C. T call fr urgent actin n plastic ban wrldwide.
D. T warn readers the danger f micrplastics in daily life.
