Using plastic cutting boards can produce microplastics

使用塑料砧板切菜會產生微塑料

Plastic is everywhere. From the food we eat to the air webreathe， tiny particles of plastic — also known as “microplastics” —can be found in almost anything. Not only does plastic cause realhavoc［ 災害］ on our oceans and take centuries to decay， causingeven more of an environmental crisis， but experts have questionedwhether consuming microplastics can negatively impact［ 影響］health. Especially if there are pieces of plastic youre using on aregular basis， like say your handy-dandy plastic cutting board.

With so much uncertainty around whether plastic cuttingboards actually negatively affect human health， the question stillstands： Should we get rid of them just in case？ Dr. Lebeau saysthat were already consuming so many microplastics throughout ourday （like in our food we eat from production， or even sometimesin our water even if its been filtered［ 過濾］） that the microplasticsfrom cutting boards wont be making a huge difference. Whileusing a wood cutting board may seem like a cleaner， safer option，these types of products are porous and may not be completelydisinfected properly， increasing the risk of food-borne illness. If youwould like to avoid both altogether， the United States Departmentof Agriculture （USDA） recommends replacing your plastic and woodcutting boards with ones that aremade from bamboo because they aredenser and are less porous than otherwood cutting boards， decreasing yourrisk. Just be sure to clean it asthoroughly as possible！

塑料無處不在。從我們吃的食物到呼吸的空氣，幾乎任何東西中都可以發現微小的塑料顆粒，也稱為“微塑料”。塑料不僅給海洋造成了真正的破壞，而且需要幾個世紀的時間才能腐爛，從而造成更大的環境危機，但專家也質疑食用微塑料是否會對健康產生負面影響。尤其是當你經常使用一些塑料制品時，比如方便實用的塑料砧板。

塑料砧板是否真的會對人體健康產生負面影響尚存在許多不確定性，但問題依然存在：我們是否應該拋棄塑料砧板，以防萬一？勒博博士說，我們每天已經攝入了大量的微塑料（比如在加工的食物中，甚至經過過濾的水中），所以砧板上的微塑料不會產生太大的影響。雖然使用木質砧板看似更干凈、更安全，但這類產品多孔，可能無法完全正確消毒，會增加食源性疾病的風險。如果你想完全避免這兩種情況，美國農業部建議將塑料和木質砧板換成竹砧板，因為竹子比其他木質砧板密度更高，孔隙更少，可以降低風險。但一定要盡可能徹底清潔！
