私たちの中のプラスチック：マイクロプラスチックが自然を乱している | ディミトリ・デヘイン | TEDxEncinitas Blvd

カリフォルニア大学サンディエゴ校スクリップス海洋研究所の海洋生物学者ディミトリ・デヘイン氏が、マイクロプラスチックが生命の自然なバランスをどのように乱しているかを解説します。同氏の研究は、生物の体内に入り、食物連鎖を通じて人間にまで及ぶ可能性のあるプラスチックに焦点を当てています。講演では、プラスチック素材とその化学添加物の潜在的な毒性も取り上げられています。独立して運営されたTEDxイベントでの講演です。

• マイクロプラスチックが生物や食物連鎖に入る仕組み
• プラスチックと化学添加物の潜在的な毒性
• 市民教育と市民科学の重要性

This talk from Dr. Dimitri Deheyn at TEDxEncinitasBlvd explores how microplastics are disrupting the natural balance of life. TEDxEncinitasBlvd was made possible by Executive Producer, Lead Organizer, and Editor Rohan Phadnis, WayZero, and BAAIRS. Dimitri Deheyn is a marine biologist and ecotoxicologist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego. His cross-disciplinary research focuses on plastics, especially microplastics, which pose serious threats due to their ability to enter organisms and the food web, including humans. He explores the potential toxicity of plastic materials and their chemical additives, emphasizing the importance of public education and global citizen science efforts. With a background rooted in Belgium, Africa, and South America, Deheyn brings a global perspective to environmental health. His goal is to better understand microplastic production and distribution and help develop solutions that protect ecosystems and future societies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
