The Plastic Pathway Through the Planet — and the Body
Every plastic fragment that enters a river begins a journey that doesn’t end in the ocean — it ends in us. Studies in Nature Geoscience (2024) reveal that micro- and nanoplastics migrate through river sediments into groundwater, drinking systems, and ultimately the bloodstream. Once circulating, these particles have been found in lungs, liver, placenta, and brain tissue — proving that plastic pollution is a full-circle biological issue, not just an environmental one.
Crossing Every Barrier
A 2025 investigation by the University of New Mexico Health Sciences found plastic fragments in human brain tissue, with concentrations up to ten times higher in individuals with neurodegenerative conditions. Nanoplastics as small as 100 nm can cross the blood–brain barrier, triggering oxidative stress and inflammation — silent mechanisms linked to cognitive decline and cellular aging.
From Awareness to Action
Klar2O filtration systems are designed to intercept this contamination chain at its origin — the water we drink. By removing micro- and nanoplastics, PFAS, and other persistent chemicals, Klar2O prevents pollutants from reaching where they can do the most harm: inside the human body.
The journey of plastic pollution ends where clean water begins.
