Scientists have discovered a novel bird sickness called’ plasticize affecting birds. Researchers from Australia and Britain found scarred tissue within their digestive tracts which was caused by the consumption of plastic. Based on the research released in Hazardous Materials, the disease is caused by the “continuous presence of plastic within the digestive tract of the human body that could cause long-term inflammation, and possibly scar tissues.
Plastic was found in the dead birds of 30
Researchers discovered traces of plastic in the bodies of 30 shearwater birds with flesh-footed feet that were between 80 to 90 days old. They have recently passed away. They were taken from Lord Howe Island, Australia. Children were also part of the 30 birds. Researchers discovered microplastic pieces within the bodies of birds. The bird had eaten 12.5 percent of the body’s weight. The study revealed that the greater amount of plastic that a bird eats the more marks are left on its tissues of its.
These could be the results of a bird sickness.
According to research, this disease may lead to the gradual degeneration of tubular glands within the proventriculus. The loss of these glands could make birds more prone to parasites and infections and hinder their ability to digest food and absorb vitamins. The fibrotic illness was given by scientists the name of plastics to show the fact that it is caused by the presence of plastics in our environment.
The Guardian newspaper quoted Dr. Alex Bond.
Chief curator for bird life of the Natural History Museum, saying that while these birds might appear healthy from the outside. They’re not in good health in the interior. The first time stomach tissue is examined in this manner demonstrates. The consumption of plastic can cause significant damage to the stomach tracts of these birds.
