Study Reveals Microplastics Contamination in All Indian Salt and Sugar Brands

A recent study by the environmental research organization Toxics Link has uncovered troubling levels of microplastics in all tested Indian salt and sugar brands. The study, titled “Microplastics in Salt and Sugar,” examined a range of products, including table salt, rock salt, sea salt, and various types of sugar from both online and local markets.

The findings show that every sample contained microplastics in different forms, such as fibers, pellets, films, and fragments, with sizes ranging from 0.1 mm to 5 mm. Iodized salt had the highest concentration, with 89.15 pieces per kilogram, while organic rock salt had the lowest at 6.70 pieces per kilogram. In sugar, microplastic concentrations ranged from 11.85 to 68.25 pieces per kilogram, with non-organic sugar showing the highest levels.

Ravi Agarwal, founder-director of Toxics Link, emphasized that the study aims to enhance the scientific understanding of microplastics to better inform global plastic treaties. The results highlight an urgent need for comprehensive research into the health impacts of microplastics and prompt policy action to address this issue.

Satish Sinha, associate director of Toxics Link, expressed concern over the widespread presence of microplastics and called for immediate action to mitigate potential health risks. The study’s revelations underscore the growing global issue of microplastic contamination and its implications for human health and the environment.
