Why have you studied this subject your whole life<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because it is a <strong>natural <\/strong>cationic <strong>fibre<\/strong> and therefore unique in its kind, and it is the most common fibre found in the animal kingdom. Just as cellulose is the most important polymer in the <strong>plant<\/strong> kingdom, <strong><span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;A natural fibre derived from chitin, found in the exoskeleton of crustaceans such as Procambarus clarkii.

The number of such bonds is extremely high, which is why it is important: it is well suited to the animal kingdom and to humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;Plastic fragments ranging from 0.1 \u00b5m to 5 mm in size, originating from primary microplastics (pellets, cosmetic microspheres) or secondary ones (breakdown of larger plastics).

What is the relationship between these two worlds, and why is the topic so relevant?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we start from the relationship between these two worlds, it is now well established that <strong><span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;A natural fibre derived from chitin, found in the exoskeleton of crustaceans such as Procambarus clarkii. It is used for its ability to bind microplastics, adsorb metals, and for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.&lt;\/p&gt;\">chitosan<\/span><\/strong> from <em>Procambarus clarkii<\/em> acts rather like a <strong>magnet<\/strong> for <strong><span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;Plastic fragments ranging from 0.1 \u00b5m to 5 mm in size, originating from primary microplastics (pellets, cosmetic microspheres) or secondary ones (breakdown of larger plastics).

This is because it is <strong>able to bind<\/strong> them both through ionic bonds and, much more efficiently, through so-called hydrogen bonds. However, I should explain the strength of a hydrogen bond. Its strength lies in their number, but let me give a very simple example: A gecko that walks up a wall does so thanks to hydrogen bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Professor, what is the current state of scientific research on this topic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s say that we are the first to have identified the possibility of binding <span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;Plastic fragments ranging from 0.1 \u00b5m to 5 mm in size, originating from primary microplastics (pellets, cosmetic microspheres) or secondary ones (breakdown of larger plastics).

Everyone else is trying, but they are not using natural fibres. They sometimes use mixtures of products that make little sense and are at best aimed at reducing the <strong>oxidative stress<\/strong> generated by <span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;Plastic fragments ranging from 0.1 \u00b5m to 5 mm in size, originating from primary microplastics (pellets, cosmetic microspheres) or secondary ones (breakdown of larger plastics). They appear in various forms \u2013 spheres, fibres, irregular fragments \u2013 and are now ubiquitous in air, water, soil and living organisms.&lt;\/p&gt;\">microplastics<\/span>, but they do not lead to the <strong>elimination<\/strong> <strong>of <span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;Plastic fragments ranging from 0.1 \u00b5m to 5 mm in size, originating from primary microplastics (pellets, cosmetic microspheres) or secondary ones (breakdown of larger plastics).

We have studied a natural food supplement derived from <em>Procambarus clarkii<\/em>, called Plastik<strong>Dren<\/strong>, which has shown to be able to increase the faecal excretion of <span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;Plastic fragments ranging from 0.1 \u00b5m to 5 mm in size, originating from primary microplastics (pellets, cosmetic microspheres) or secondary ones (breakdown of larger plastics).

They appear in various forms \u2013 spheres, fibres, irregular fragments \u2013 and are now ubiquitous in air, water, soil and living organisms.&lt;\/p&gt;\">microplastics<\/span>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, <strong>limiting the intake of <span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;Plastic fragments ranging from 0.1 \u00b5m to 5 mm in size, originating from primary microplastics (pellets, cosmetic microspheres) or secondary ones (breakdown of larger plastics). They appear in various forms \u2013 spheres, fibres, irregular fragments \u2013 and are now ubiquitous in air, water, soil and living organisms.&lt;\/p&gt;\">microplastics<\/span><\/strong> present in the environment and consequently reducing the use of <strong>plastic bottles for water<\/strong>, cooking in <strong>heat-resistant containers<\/strong>, and the use of <strong>single-use foods<\/strong> bought in supermarkets that come in <strong>plastic packaging<\/strong>; the use of <strong>synthetic fibres<\/strong> in <strong>towels<\/strong>, <strong>bed linen<\/strong>, and so on\u2026 all of this increases contact with <span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;Plastic fragments ranging from 0.1 \u00b5m to 5 mm in size, originating from primary microplastics (pellets, cosmetic microspheres) or secondary ones (breakdown of larger plastics). They appear in various forms \u2013 spheres, fibres, irregular fragments \u2013 and are now ubiquitous in air, water, soil and living organisms.&lt;\/p&gt;\">microplastics<\/span>. The other thing that should be done is to <strong>limit the oral intake of certain foods<\/strong>, such as <strong>small fish<\/strong>, and then try to <strong>increase the elimination of <span class=\"glossario-term\" data-definition=\"&lt;p&gt;Plastic fragments ranging from 0.1 \u00b5m to 5 mm in size, originating from primary microplastics (pellets, cosmetic microspheres) or secondary ones (breakdown of larger plastics).
